The Rothhammer Lab is looking for an ambitious PhD to investigate novel mechanisms in glial cell biology during autoimmune inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the central nervous system.

Project:

The PhD will work on fascinating projects focusing on glial signaling in acute and chronic stages of autoimmune inflammation in the central nervous system, as well as its modulation by environmental and microbial factors

Canidates:

Candidates should hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in biomedical research, bioengineering or related areas and possess a strong interest to unravel immunological questions in inflammatory and degenerative diseases with the goal of developing novel therapeutic strategies. 

Experience with the following techniques is advantageous, but not necessary:

• Multi-parameter Flow cytometry

• Rodent models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

• In vitro assays involving primary glial cells⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

Offer:

We offer a young and dynamic research environment in a fully equipped and experienced wet and translational laboratory, which will allow candidates to establish and expand their skill set with high relevance for basic and translational research.⠀

The University Hospital together with the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen are committed to become the “City of Health and Medicine”. Within the scope of “Medical Valley EMN” (a scientific cluster-cooperation) the University Hospital, FAU and the City Erlangen are collaborating with scientific, commercial and political partners to gain an international leadership position in the field of health care and medical research. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

Funding will be supplied according to TV-L.
