Job ID: 11310

Fixed-term 3 years | Part-time (65%) | Salary according to TV-L E13 | Institute of Medical Biochemistry

We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.

To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise at the Institute of Medical Biochemistry – ideally with you on board!

RESEARCH PROGRAM

The Institute of Medical Biochemistry, headed by Prof. Tim Lämmermann, is part of the Centre of Molecular Biology of Inflammation (ZMBE) and embedded within a vibrant research environment and part of various research networks.

Our research focuses on investigating single cell and population dynamics during innate immune responses. The successful applicant will join an exciting research program in a dynamic and international institute, hosting several research groups (Lämmermann, Rambold, Stegmeyer). Research groups are currently seeking applicants interested in immune cell dynamics (in particular neutrophil extravasation) and organelle dynamics/metabolism in immune cells. Our research activities are integrated in several local research initiatives on inflammation and basic cell biology, e.g. CRC1450, TRR332 and SFB1348.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Experimental investigations including cell biological, immunological, biochemical and microscopy methods
• Documentation of data and results
• Preparation of PhD thesis

REQUIREMENTS

• Master‘s degree or equivalent in natural sciences, preferably cell biology, biochemistry, or immunology
• Strong commitment to research and high motivation for experimental work
• Background in cell biology, immunology, and inflammation

The following fields of expertise are considered an asset:

• Confocal microscopy and live cell imaging
• Working with immune cells
• Molecular biology techniques
• Immune cell dynamics, cell migration, organelle biology, and/or metabolomics

WE OFFER

• An international and dynamic working environment
• Research laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment including advanced microscope systems
• International and interdisciplinary collaborations
• Excellent possibilities for career development, i.e. integration into local graduate programs in research initiatives in Münster during the PhD time

For more information and details of the research conducted please contact: Prof. Dr. T. Lämmermann, [e-mail], T [phone]

Apply now via our career portal until December 10, 2025. Please include a CV, a short letter of motivation, record of publications, and the contact information of two references.
