PhD Student in Biology / Biochemistry | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This PhD position at the Institute of Biochemistry at Kiel University offers a unique opportunity to join Dr. Matthias Voss’s research group, focusing on the molecular regulation of glycosylation within the Golgi apparatus. The successful candidate will investigate the proteolytic cleavage of Golgi-resident enzymes, specifically the protease SPPL3, and its impact on physiological processes such as tumor immune evasion. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting experiments using molecular cloning, genome editing, high-resolution imaging, and proteomics within both cellular and in vivo models. The role is part of a DFG-funded project, providing close mentoring and a stimulating scientific environment. This position is particularly attractive for researchers interested in membrane protein research and offers potential association with the Research Training Group ReMPro, fostering significant career development and scientific collaboration in a modern, cosmopolitan university setting.
