Research Associate (Doctoral Candidate) in Pharmacology | Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in (Doktorand*in) Ausschreibungs-ID: fb16-0032-wmz-2025

Job Summary

This position is a part-time (65%) Research Associate role, serving as a Doctoral Candidate within the Department of Pharmacy at Philipps University, Marburg, focusing on cutting-edge pharmacological research. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, cloning, and validating optical G-protein biosensors for use in live cells. Key tasks include planning, executing, and interpreting pharmacological experiments using new optical biosensors in microtiter formats (96/384-well plates), specifically investigating GPCR-dependent conformational changes, interaction profiles of dissociated G-protein subunits, and G-protein-mediated signaling pathways. The role requires a Master's degree in a relevant life science field, practical experience in mammalian cell culture, molecular biology techniques (PCR, cloning), and fluorescence/bioluminescence methods like FRET/BRET. This role offers an excellent opportunity for independent scientific qualification (PhD) supported by university research academies.
