PhD Position in Biology (Transcriptomics and Proteomics) | Doktoranden (m-w-d)/ PhD position (m-f-d)

Job Summary

This is a unique opportunity for a highly motivated scientist to pursue a PhD in Biology at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, focusing on molecular and chemical analysis of insects, specifically ants. The successful candidate will be responsible for organizing and conducting complex molecular biology (RNA sequencing/transcriptomics) and chemical analyses (HPLC/proteomics), alongside field and lab experiments involving live animals. Key responsibilities also include the advanced analysis of gathered genomic and molecular data, supervising student helpers, and preparing scientific publications primarily in English. This part-time (65%), three-year fixed-term position requires a Master's degree in Biology or a related field, coupled with prior experience in insect genomics, transcriptomics, or proteomics techniques, offering a structured path toward obtaining a doctoral degree.
