Research Associate (PhD Student) in Biochemistry | Biochemiker (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role offers an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate (PhD Student) to join an interdisciplinary research team at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. The successful candidate will contribute to a DFG-funded project focused on understanding the role of ER-mitochondria interfaces in phospholipid homeostasis and cellular structure. Day-to-day responsibilities include planning, executing, and evaluating experiments in cell culture, CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing, and lipid analysis using mass spectrometry. The position also involves preparing and analyzing cell samples with super-resolution and electron microscopy, developing innovative fluorescence labeling strategies for lipids, and establishing methods for protein interaction studies. This is a chance to work at the forefront of cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and advanced microscopy, culminating in scientific publications.
