PhD student - Neurobiology (m/f/d)- Universitätsklinikum Münster

PhD Student (gn*) in Peripheral Nerve Neurobiology/Neuro-ImmunologyLimited to 3 years | Part-time with 65% | Salary according to TV-L/salary group 13 | Department of Medicine A - Hematology, Oncology and Pneumology | Job ID: 11363We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise at the Department of Neurology - ideally with you on board! Overall, research in the Group of Prof. Dr. Meyer zu Hörste at the Department of Neurology combines basic models and patient-derived specimen with cutting-edge technologies. One of our recent projects has been to better under¬stand human polyneuropathies by using single nuclei and spatial transcriptomics (PubMed ID 40849297). This embeds with the focus of the group of applying single cell/spatial transcriptomics to better understand human neurological diseases on a wider scale (see e.g. PubMed IDs 38750052, 33382973).ResponsibilitiesYou will study mechanisms of peripheral nerve and brain border immunology by applying animal models and spatial transcriptomics at the Department of Neurology as part of the established research group of Prof. Dr. Meyer zu Hörste and integrated with the Biology in Context Core Unit.Requirements Experience inRodent experimentation and their legal requirements in GermanyImmunohistochemistry and/or RNA in-situ hybridization and light microscopyMotivation, interest in topics of neurobiology and team-oriented approach to workSense of responsibility, organisational skills, reliability and flexibilityExperience in single cell/nuclei or spatial transcriptomics is preferable, but not requiredExperience in immunological techniques (e.g., flow cytometry) is a plusWe are an international group, so good written and oral communication skills in English are mandatoryBENEFITSExciting ProjectsProfessional Development and TrainingInterdisciplinary CollaborationPart of Research InnovationAdditional Benefits
