Research Associate / PhD Candidate | Wissenschaftliche*n Mitarbeiter*in (m/w/d)
Christian-Albrechts- Universität zu Kiel (CAU)
Job Summary
This position is based at the Biochemical Institute of Kiel University within Dr. Matthias Voss's research group, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of Golgi apparatus glycosylation. As a Research Associate (PhD Candidate), you will investigate the molecular regulation of SPPL3 activity and the processing of Golgi enzymes. Your day-to-day work involves utilizing a broad spectrum of methods including cloning, genome editing, immunoblotting, flow cytometry, and high-resolution microscopy. The project transitions from cellular models to animal models to explore physiological processes like tumor immune evasion. This role is ideal for a motivated researcher seeking a stimulating academic environment with access to the DFG-funded Research Training Group 'ReMPro'. The position offers a 65% part-time contract (25.16 hours/week) for 36 months, providing a structured path toward a doctoral degree in a highly specialized field of membrane protein research.
