Doctoral Researcher - Leishmania Research Project | Doktorand / Doktorandin (m/w/d) - Forschungsprojekt Leishmanien

Job Summary

This doctoral researcher position at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut involves contributing to a cutting-edge research project focused on Leishmania, a parasite causing tropical diseases. The role centers on investigating how these intracellular parasites evade the host's immune system, utilizing advanced techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 gene deletion to study parasite survival and pathogenicity. Day-to-day tasks include designing and executing experiments, collaborating with internal and external colleagues, mentoring junior students, and actively participating in scientific discourse through presentations at conferences and publishing research findings. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated natural scientist to conduct impactful research in infection immunology, contributing to a deeper understanding of parasitic infections and potential therapeutic strategies within a renowned federal scientific institution.
