The Institute of Vascular Signalling, Centre for Molecular Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, Goethe University Frankfurt and the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research, Department of Pharmacology, Bad Nauheim, seek an enthusiastic and highly motivated PhD or MD\/PhD candidate (E13, 65%) to study the autoantigen repertoire (proteins and microproteins) and immunomodulation in cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n
Start date: April 2023.<\/p>\n
The position requires the following:<\/p>\n
Participation in a recently funded collaborative research project within the DFG Cluster of Excellence CardioPulmonary Institute focusing on the identification of proteins and microproteins as autoantigens mediating immunomodulatory functions in cardiovascular disease. The project involves work in vivo (models of cardiovascular disease) as well as in vitro (human cells).
\nIntegration of RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry technologies.Integration of RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry technologies.
\nCollection of experimental data, analysis and documentation of results and preparation of material for publication.<\/p>\n
We offer:<\/p>\n
A thematic high-level project in an internationally recognized group (www.ivs.uni-frankfurt.de) that is part of the DFG Cluster of Excellence \u201cCardioPulmonary Institute\u201d (www.cpi-online.de), SFB 1531 and the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (www.DZHK.de).
\nAn international and inclusive environment promoting curiosity and critical thinking leading to impactful scientific discoveries.
\nAssociation with a graduate school (https:\/\/sfb1531.de\/programme) providing the specific know-how necessary for performing cutting edge science in cardiovascular biology and mentoring for personal development.
\nModern research buildings with state-of-the-art facilities and analysis possibilities from integrative physiology to mass spectroscopy in Frankfurt and Bad Nauheim.<\/p>\n
Requirements:<\/p>\n
A completed, very good MSc in biology, biotechnology, molecular medicine or an equivalent discipline or a completed degree in medicine including an experimental thesis (Dr. med.). An inclination for immunology is desired.
