Job Summary

This position is for a PhD Candidate to join the DFG-funded Research Training Group (RTG) 3095, focusing on protective and pathogenic antibody responses at immunological barrier organs. The successful candidate will execute subproject P06 at Kiel University, investigating the mechanisms behind IgA+ B cell generation specifically in lung tissue. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting advanced doctoral research, generating single-cell interactomes of murine B cells, and applying bioinformatics for high-throughput data analysis (e.g., scRNA-seq). Key requirements include a Master’s degree in Life Sciences, an excellent command of English, and motivation to use statistical software like R. This role is highly attractive due to its structured 4-year training program, strong international and interdisciplinary team environment, and access to cutting-edge technologies like single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, offering superb opportunities for scientific qualification in modern immunology.
