Biologist PhD Candidate (Neuronal Cell Biology) | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This PhD position at the Institute of Clinical Anatomy and Cell Analysis, Tübingen University, focuses on investigating the mechanisms underlying slow axonal transport using the invertebrate model *C. elegans*. The successful candidate will design, perform, and interpret complex cell biological experiments, specifically aiming to dissect the composition and regulatory mechanisms of transport packages within neurites. Key responsibilities include utilizing advanced techniques such as *in vivo* microscopy, super-resolution microscopy, genetic screens, genome editing, molecular biology, and biochemical assays. The role requires a highly motivated individual with a Master's degree in a relevant life science field, solid knowledge of cell biology, and a strong interest in microscopy. The candidate must be capable of driving projects independently, possess critical thinking skills, and be an effective communicator within an international, multidisciplinary research environment.
