PhD Student in Peripheral Nerve Neurobiology and Neuro-Immunology | PhD Student (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This PhD position, limited to three years and offered at 65% part-time, focuses on cutting-edge research within the Department of Neurology, specifically studying mechanisms of peripheral nerve and brain border immunology. The successful candidate will apply animal models and advanced spatial transcriptomics techniques as part of an established research group. Day-to-day activities involve conducting rodent experiments, performing immunohistochemistry, RNA in-situ hybridization, and light microscopy, while maintaining strict adherence to German legal requirements for animal experimentation. The role is highly attractive due to its integration into an international, interdisciplinary team utilizing state-of-the-art technologies like single nuclei and spatial transcriptomics to better understand human neurological diseases. Candidates must possess a strong background in neurobiology, be highly motivated, team-oriented, and demonstrate mandatory good written and oral communication skills in English.
