PhD Student in Biology (Molecular Mechanisms & Genome Stability) | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role offers a unique opportunity for an ambitious scientist to pursue a PhD within the International PhD Programme (IPP) in Mainz, specifically joining the research group led by Helle Ulrich. The successful candidate will conduct cutting-edge research at the intersection of proteostasis and genome stability, focusing on the 'ubiquitin code' and its role in mitochondrial protein import. Day-to-day activities involve utilizing a proteomics-based method called 'LinkageID' to identify novel ubiquitin targets and performing biochemical, cell, and molecular biological analyses in mammalian cell cultures and budding yeast. This position is highly attractive for those seeking an interdisciplinary, international environment with fully funded financing until thesis completion. Participants gain access to state-of-the-art core facilities and a community of over 200 PhD students, providing an excellent foundation for a high-level scientific career in life sciences.
