Research Technician | Technische*r Assistent*in (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This full-time, three-year fixed-term position as a Research Technician at the University Hospital Bonn's Heart Center focuses on cutting-edge research into chronic, inflammation-driven cardiovascular diseases, particularly calcifying aortic valve stenosis. The role is integral to a project investigating how Vitamin K metabolism and lipid peroxidation exacerbate calcification and inflammation, supported by the Corona Foundation and embedded within the DFG-funded TRR259 network. Day-to-day responsibilities include the execution and maintenance of various cell cultures (human and murine cell lines, primary cells), applying molecular biological techniques such as RT-PCR, ELISA, and Western Blot, and performing (immuno)histological staining with fluorescence microscopy evaluation. The technician will also assist with handling human patient material (aortic valve tissue, blood samples) and supporting mouse model work (injections, tissue sampling). Candidates must possess a completed qualification as a BTA, MTLA, or CTA, ideally bringing prior experience in biomedical research, histology, and animal experimentation. Success requires strong team skills, high responsibility, and a structured, self-reliant approach.
