The lab of Sven Bogdan at the Institute of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Dept. Molecular Cell Physiology is looking for a PhD student to work on
Dissecting epithelial-immune cell interactions in Drosophila wounding You will apply experimental strategies of Drosophila genetics with modern methods of biochemistry, cell biology and high-resolution imaging techniques (SDM, SIM, CLSM, light-sheet microscopy) to decipher conserved mechanisms of the interplay between epithelial cells and infiltrating immune cells. We are looking for highly motivated scientists to join our research team to study the innate immune response and epidermal wound healing in the genetic model organism Drosophila. The position is available for 3 years. Interested applicants should apply with a motivation letter, two letters of recommendation, copies of Bachelor/Masters certificate (or equivalent) and a transcript of records as one single pdf file following the link given below.
We support women and strongly encourage them to apply. In areas where women are underrepresented, female applicants will be preferred in case of equal qualifications. Applicants with children are welcome - Philipps-University Marburg is certified as a family-friendly university. Sharing a full-time position (§ 8 Abs.
2 S. 1 HGIG) as well as a reduction of working time is possible. Applicants with a disability as described in SGB IX (§ 2 Abs. 2, 3) will be preferred in case of equal qualifications. Application and interview costs cannot be refunded.
