The Institute of Anatomy at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel is a dynamic institute with international and interactive groups and with access to world-class facilities. The research group of Prof. Dr. Franziska Theilig and Dr. Eileen Dahlke (Cardiovascular and Renal research) is working on the development of hypertension and edema formation as a consequence of kidney diseases. Furthermore, our group has the aim to identify signaling network regulating endocytosis. The working languages are German and English. The research is done in a collaborative network with leading labs in Kiel, other labs in Germany, and abroad. Moreover, Kiel is a beautiful city located at the Baltic Sea offering excellent opportunities for cultural and outdoor activities like sailing. We are seeking outstanding and highly motivated candidates for a Research Assistant position (PhD) to support us within the Institute of Anatomy at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, Germany. The proposed project involves: Impact of endocytosis proteins in cell cycle and cytokinesis and the consequences in chronic kidney diseases. Responsibilities : Cell culture, cell biology, biochemical and molecular biology methods Animal experiments, physiological and morphological analysis conditional knockout mice models combined with in vitro experimental approaches Histological staining and analyses Microscopic analyses using confocal-, STED-, and electron microscopy Teaching students in German starting in biology and histology Hiring requirements: Candidates with a Master or Diploma in Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Biology, Biochemistry, Cell or Molecular Biology or a closely related field Previous experience with basic biochemical and molecular biology techniques Basic understanding of mammalian cells and cell culturing and animal experiments Fluency in written as well as spoken English and German Experience in student teaching will be an advantage Working in a state-of-the-art research facility in a collaborative, international environment Implementing your own ideas while working with an innovative Team Interactions with global scientific leaders through our seminar programs
