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

Job Summary

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity for talented scientists to engage in cutting-edge research within the International PhD Programme (IPP) Mainz, focusing on "Molecular Mechanisms in Genome Stability & Gene Regulation." The successful candidate will investigate the intricate processes governing the transition from maternal mRNA storage to translation in early embryonic development, using a combination of in vivo (zebrafish model) and in vitro techniques. This role is ideal for an ambitious scientist eager to explore how molecular architecture ensures proper embryonic development, particularly how dormant maternal mRNAs are activated. The program provides a vibrant international and interdisciplinary environment, state-of-the-art facilities, and comprehensive training, setting the stage for a strong scientific career launch.
