Scientist as doctoral candidate (m/f/d)
Our Clinic is one of the leading Centres for translational research in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Our multidisciplinary team of biologists, data scientists, and physicians works closely together on current challenges in optimizing the treatment of patients with IBD. Recently, our Clinic, in cooperation with the Third and Fifth Department of Medicine, provided a milestone in a novel treatment approach of patients with IBD by applying B cell depletion via CD19 CAR T cell application. This led to fast, long-lasting clinical remission. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are unknown. The doctoral candidate will unravel these mechanisms using advanced techniques.
The position is embedded into the IZKF (interdisciplinary center for clinical research) program thereby offering a structured training.
We are seeking for a motivated scientist (m/f/d) to join our lab team.

- Master's degree (or equivalent), preferably in biochemistry or a related field (molecular biology, cell biology, immunology)
- Strong interest in immunological research
- Analytical thinking and the ability to work independently
- High level of motivation and commitment
