Biologist (PhD Student) | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

Join a dynamic research group at IMB in Mainz, Germany, focusing on the fascinating field of gene regulation. This PhD position, part of the DFG-funded 4R Research Training Group, offers a unique opportunity to investigate the crucial role of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) in the formation and function of transcriptional condensates. You will explore how eRNA association modes impact transcription factor condensation and DNA:DNA interaction through classic phase separation assays and single molecule reconstitution. The role is ideal for a motivated individual with a background in molecular biology, strong problem-solving skills, and a collaborative spirit. As part of the International PhD Programme (IPP), you will benefit from an interdisciplinary and international community, comprehensive training, and career development support in a stimulating research environment.
