Research Project

Prof. Rutsch's research group investigates the molecular basis, pathogenetic principles, and therapeutic options for ectopic calcifications. We are currently looking for a committed postdoctoral researcher for our current project. The interdisciplinary research project, carried out in collaboration with the Department of Ophthalmology at the UKM and the Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy at the University of Münster, focuses on the treatment of retinal calcifications, which play a role in the rare disease pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) as well as age‑related macular degeneration (AMD). The innovative therapeutic approach is based on a nanoparticulate system that dissolves calcifications present in the retina.

Responsibilities

• Collaboration in research projects on translational research topics such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) and age‑related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Conducting in vivo studies, data analysis, and publication of results in scientific journals
• Participation in the preparation of research proposals
• Independent preparation of publications and presentations at national and international conferences
• Support in the training and promotion of young scientists

• Doctorate in life sciences, biochemistry, molecular medicine, or a related discipline
• Knowledge of ophthalmology is desirable
• Experience with animal experiments (mice)
• Experience with histological and imaging techniques is desirable
• Commitment and interest in basic and translational research
• Team spirit and independent working style
• High degree of flexibility
• Very good written and spoken German and English skills
• Confident use of MS Office

We Offer

• Collaboration in a dedicated team of medical professionals, scientists, and technical assistants
• A varied, challenging, and responsible role at the intersection of experimental and clinical research
• A wide range of opportunities for cooperation at local and national level
• Outstanding facilities and equipment
