PhD Student Researcher
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student researcher to join our team at the University of Münster.
* Characterizing modulators and performing functional analysis of Kv7 channels and/or proteases will be your primary responsibility.
* You will work closely with us on transfection of heteromeric channel constructs, various electrophysiology techniques in oocytes and cells, high-resolution microscopy, and 3D modeling.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research and contribute to the advancement of our understanding of cellular electrophysiology and molecular biology.
Key Responsibilities:
* Conduct experiments to characterize modulators and perform functional analysis of Kv7 channels and/or proteases.
* Work with us to develop and implement new methods for transfection of heteromeric channel constructs.
* Apply various electrophysiology techniques in oocytes and cells, including stem cell-derived 2D-cell cultures.
* Use high-resolution microscopy to visualize cellular structures and mechanisms.
* Develop and apply 3D modeling techniques to simulate protein behavior in individual electrical active cells and cells in a tissue-like conformation.
Requirements:
* Master's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.
* Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
* Experience with electrophysiology techniques, molecular biology, and data analysis software.
What We Offer:
* A dynamic and collaborative research environment.
* Opportunities for professional development and growth.
* A competitive salary and benefits package.
* Access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment.
