Jobbeschreibung

Doctoral Researcher PhD, University of Marburg

The position is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and offered for a period of 3 years. The starting date is as soon as possible. The position is part-time (65 % of regular working hours) with salary and benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state Hesse, Germany (TV-H E 13, 65 %).

The research group is a consortium of leading universities and research institutions in Marburg, Gießen, Bonn, Mainz, and Mannheim. The aim of this research consortium is to gain a better understanding of immunological processes in the testis.

The scientific environment is characterized by excellently networked, interdisciplinary research teams with regular retreats, workshops, and intensive exchange between the locations. The advertised position is located in an immunological research laboratory that is active in basic research with a close link to clinical questions.

The thematic focus of the project is on the functional and phenotypic analysis of various T cell subpopulations that become active in the context of testicular tumor diseases and chronic inflammation. To address these questions, a state-of-the-art technical infrastructure is available. This includes, among other things, high-dimensional flow cytometry (classical and spectral), single-cell technologies, CODEX technology, and the latest bioinformatics analysis tools in close cooperation with core facilities.

Tasks:

• scientific services in research
• writing of manuscripts and scientific proposals
• independent planning and execution of experimental work
• data analysis, visualization, and interpretation
• collaboration with cooperation partners
• supervision of practical work of master and bachelor students

The position is limited to a time period deemed adequate for the completion of a doctoral degree. As part of the assigned duties, there will be ample opportunity to conduct the independent scientific research necessary for the completion of a doctorate. The limitation complies to § 2, 1 WissZeitVG.

Profile:

• completed university degree (Diplom, Master or equivalent) in Tumor Biology, Molecular Biology, Medical Biology, Microbiology or similar.
• experience in working with basic laboratory and cell culture methods (ELISA, qPCR, Western Blot etc.)
• willingness to work with primary material and animal models
• experience in flow cytometry (FACS)
• FELASA B and experience in independently conducting mouse experiments
• knowledge of T-cell and tumor immunology

Disposition to own scientific qualification is expected.

We actively support the professional development of junior researchers by the offers of Marburg Research Academy (MARA), the International Office and the Higher Education Didactics Office.

We offer:

• an interesting and broad range of work
• diverse opportunities for shaping your work and personal development options
• engagement with the latest methods and analyses
• networking with scientists from various fields
• participation in international conferences
• family services
• LandesTicket for all civil servants of the State of Hesse
