PhD Student in Functional Cancer Genomics | PhD Student (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This DFG-funded PhD position at Charité - University Medicine Berlin offers a highly motivated researcher the opportunity to investigate functional cancer genomics and therapy resistance, focusing specifically on cellular senescence mechanisms in B-cell lymphomas. Day-to-day responsibilities include designing and conducting complex experiments to detect and evaluate mutational events, performing in-depth tumor sample characterization using bulk and single-cell analyses, and interpreting experimental data. The role requires a Master’s degree in a relevant life science field (e.g., Cell Biology, Molecular Biology) and practical experience with cell culture and molecular biology techniques. The successful candidate will join an international, collaborative research environment, utilizing state-of-the-art infrastructure, including single-cell genomics and advanced imaging, to contribute significantly to understanding cancer origin and developing novel treatment strategies.
