PhD Candidate in Cell Biology and Vascular Biology | PhD Student (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This PhD position within the Matis lab at the Institute of Cell Biology focuses on the 'Mechanobiological Regulation of Endothelial Cell Dynamics.' As a doctoral researcher, you will investigate how endothelial cells (specifically HUVECs) respond to mechanical stimuli by modulating their cytoskeleton, adhesion dynamics, and gene expression. Day-to-day responsibilities involve utilizing microfluidic systems, quantitative live-cell imaging, and various molecular biology techniques to dissect signaling networks. The role offers a unique opportunity to engage in high-level vascular research within a structured academic environment. This position is particularly attractive for those seeking interdisciplinary collaboration and professional development in a specialized life sciences field, offering a 65% part-time contract (25 hours/week) under the TV-L E13 salary scale for a duration of three years.
