PhD Candidate in Medical Molecular Biology and Immuno-Oncology | PhD Position in Medical Molecular Biology / Immuno-Oncology (m/f/d)

Job Summary

This fully funded PhD position at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of Pathology and Molecular Medicine. The successful candidate will conduct interdisciplinary research focused on muscle-invasive bladder cancer, specifically investigating the nuclear transport of cytokines, epigenetic chromatin modifications, and the molecular regulation of human endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Day-to-day responsibilities involve executing cutting-edge experimental approaches in molecular biology and immunology to understand innate immunity and immune exhaustion. This role is highly attractive due to its integration into the FAU Graduate Program, providing a structured doctoral training environment, excellent infrastructure, and strong career development support. Candidates will benefit from a stable public sector contract (TV-L) and the chance to contribute to translational medical progress within a motivated, open-minded scientific team in a system-relevant institution.
