Jobbeschreibung

Doctoral Research Associate (PhD Student) (gn*)

Initially limited for three years | starting date: 01.10.2025 | part-time with 65% | Salary according to TV-L E 13 | Centre of Reproductive Medicine and Andrology - research training group "Chemical Biology of Ion Channels (Chembion)" | Job ID: 10796

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 scientific expertise in the research training group "Chemical Biology of Ion Channels (Chembion)" at the Centre of Reproductive Medicine and Andrology - ideally with you on board!

Responsibilities

An interdisciplinary team of 13 scientists at the University of Münster has come together to advance the pharmacology and physiology of ion channels using innovative chemical tools. We are dedicated to training PhD students in the field of chemical biology and supporting their development into skilled, independent, and internationally minded scientists.

The Molecular Reproductive Physiology group, led by Timo Strünker, explores the fascinating molecular mechanisms that control human sperm function and, thereby, the fertilization process. Our research focuses on the physiology and pharmacology of ion channels, employing cutting-edge techniques such as electrophysiology, advanced fluorometric imaging (Ca²⁺, pH, membrane potential), and state-of-the-art microscopy.

Join us to advance our understanding of ion channel physiology in a dynamic, supportive, and international environment.
