Doctoral Researcher in Biology/Pharmacology | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This doctoral researcher position, funded by the German Research Foundation (TRR 205), focuses on investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of primary hyperaldosteronism within the reno-cardiovascular system. The successful candidate will utilize various cell models to identify disease-relevant signaling pathways and explore potential new therapeutic approaches. Day-to-day tasks involve applying a broad spectrum of advanced techniques, including patch-clamp electrophysiology, laser-scanning microscopy, FRET, Calcium Imaging, FRAP, and TIRF, complemented by molecular and cell biology methods. The role is ideal for a highly motivated individual with a Master's degree (or equivalent) in Biology, Biophysics, Biochemistry, or a related field, who possesses a strong interest in cell physiological and endocrinological questions. This position offers structured supervision, access to excellent core facilities, and the opportunity to work in an internationally networked, collaborative scientific environment at the LMU Munich.
