FACULTY OF MEDICINE:

Institute of Biochemistry and Pathobiochemistry / Molecular Cell Biology
In order to fill a fixed-term position in part-time (26,69 hours/week = 67%) 2026-01-01, we are looking for one
PhD candidate (m/f/x)
The Department of Molecular Cell Biology focusses on mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease and interfaces between the nervous system and the immune system. Of particular interest in this context are signalling processes regulated by ubiquitin. The planned project is associated with the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV and specifically addresses phase transitions of ubiquitin-binding proteins and their role in protein quality control.
We invite highly motivated PhD candidates who would like to combine biophysical and biochemical in vitro approaches with cell culture assays and advanced light microscopy techniques. In addition to scientific activities, participation in teaching activities is expected, including supervision of internships and, if applicable, bachelor’s or master’s students.
