PhD Position in Cardiovascular Translational Research | PhD Position in Cardiovascular Translational Research

Job Summary

This PhD position, based at the University Hospital of Augsburg, focuses on cutting-edge cardiovascular translational research, specifically investigating novel mechanisms of platelet-immune cell interactions and their impact on diseases like myocardial infarction. The successful candidate will conduct advanced research on platelet-leukocyte aggregates in coronary artery disease, utilizing state-of-the-art multiomic technologies such as scRNA-seq, CyTOF (mass cytometry), and FACS. Key responsibilities include developing experimental protocols, collaborating with bioinformaticians for complex data analysis, and communicating findings through publications and presentations. This role is ideal for a highly motivated individual with a Master's degree in molecular biology or a related field, practical lab experience (FACS, ELISA, Western blotting), and a strong interest in hemostasis and immunology. The position offers a stimulating, interdisciplinary environment with strong international collaborations and the opportunity to contribute to high-impact clinical and translational science.
