PhD Position in Medical Molecular Biology | Naturwissenschaftliche Promotionsstelle in Medizinischer Molekularbiologie (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This fully funded doctoral position at Erlangen University Hospital offers a unique opportunity to conduct translational research within an interdisciplinary synergy project between Pathology and Molecular Medicine. The successful candidate will focus on muscle-invasive bladder cancer and the regulation of innate immunity. Day-to-day responsibilities include investigating the nuclear transport of cytokines, epigenetic chromatin modifications, and the molecular regulation of human endogenous retroviruses (ERV). You will work within the FAU graduate program, benefiting from a structured curriculum and a high-tech scientific environment. This role is ideal for a motivated researcher eager to explore 'immune exhaustion' mechanisms and molecular oncology. The position is particularly attractive due to its integration into a prestigious public service framework (TV-L), providing a secure workplace, comprehensive health promotion, and close supervision within a collaborative, innovative team of experts.
