PhD candidate / Research scientist (all genders) – international DFG-funded Research Training Group (IRTG) 3215 “Microdomains in Cardiac Disease”

Project RP10: Endothelial regulation of cardiomyocyte microdomains

The International Research Training Group (IRTG) 3215 “Microdomains in Cardiac Disease” is a German–French doctoral programme funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It brings together basic and clinical scientists from the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) and Université Paris-Saclay. The aim of the IRTG is to provide structured, research-oriented doctoral training in cardiovascular basic and translational research, with a particular focus on subcellular microdomains in cardiac disease.

The Research Training Group will start on October 1, 2026, and is planned for a duration of 3.5 years. For the first funding period, twelve PhD candidate positions will be offered. Doctoral training will take place within a structured programme that includes joint German–French supervision, complementary scientific and transferable skills training, as well as mandatory research stays at the respective partner institution. Each doctoral candidate will conduct their PhD within one of the projects listed below, which are described in detail on our: www.uke.de/irtg-3215
