Job Summary

This PhD position, part of the DFG-funded Research Training Group (RTG) 3095, focuses on Project P02: 'Development and function of differently glycosylated IgE antibodies' at the Institute of Nutritional Medicine, University of Lübeck. The candidate will investigate how B cell responses contribute to immunoprotection or immunopathogenesis at immunological barrier sites (skin, gut, lungs). Key responsibilities include active participation in a structured 4-year qualification program, including workshops and summer schools, and conducting cutting-edge research using advanced technologies. Candidates must hold a Master’s degree in life sciences and possess an excellent command of English. Experience with molecular biology techniques, flow cytometry, and a strong motivation to apply bioinformatics approaches (including R or statistical software) for analyzing high-throughput data (like single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics) are highly desirable. This role offers a stimulating, collaborative research environment, access to state-of-the-art immunological technologies, and excellent opportunities for scientific networking and qualification within a highly ranked German university collaboration.
