The Department of Internal Medicine III (Hematology, Oncology, Rheumatology, and Infectious Diseases) at the University Medical Center Ulm offers a highly interactive and collaborative scientific environment with a strong focus on translational oncology research.
Ph.D. studentship (MSc) positions are available in the laboratories of Lars Bullinger (http://www.uniklinik-ulm.de/index.php?id=10705), Florian Kuchenbauer (http://www.uniklinik-ulm.de/news/article/1119/ulmer-leukae.html) and Daniel Mertens (http://www.mertens-lab.de). The positions are limited to 2 years and can be filled immediately. A subsequent extension of employment is possible.
Research foci are:
- Several challenging projects focusing on the role of epigenetics or miRNAs in leukemogenesis, interaction of leukemic cells with their microenvironment, and "omics" and next-generation sequencing based molecular characterization of leukemia:
Lars Bullinger: genomic and epigenomic profiling in acute myeloid leukemias
Florian Kuchenbauer: non-coding RNAs in normal and aberrant hematopoeisis
Daniel Mertens: epigenetics, microenvironment and miRNAs in leukemogenesis
- For project details please see the websites or contact the supervisors directly (see below).
Your personal profile:
- We are looking for a highly motivated, team-minded candidate with a strong interest in science. You will join an international research group working on the molecular mechanisms that cause leukemias and lymphomas.
- Applicants should hold a degree in biology, biochemistry, genetics, or a related field and have excellent laboratory and analytical skills.
- Experiences in molecular biology of cancer, epigenetics, ncRNA or systems biology are a plus.
We offer:
- Payment based on TV-L
- Multifaceted and challenging tasks
- Working environment in an international team
- Compatibility of career and family
