Germany: PhD position in Stem cell research at Georg-Speyer-Haus Institute for Biomedical Research
PhD POSITION in STEM CELL RESEARCH (m/f)
Hematopoietic stem cell metabolism in malignant hematopoiesis (Rieger Group)The Georg-Speyer-Haus in Frankfurt (www.georg-speyer-haus.de), is a highly acclaimed international research institute supported by the Federal Ministry of Health for Sciences and Arts of the State of Hesse with a long tradition in state of the art basic and translated research in molecular and cellular therapies of cancer. It combines its own modern and dynamic scientific environment with close ties to the University of Frankfurt and the Frankfurt University Hospital. Frankfurt is emerging to one of the leading centres in leukemia research in Germany.
The Position
The PhD position will be part of Dr. Michael Rieger´s team and is available from June 2011. The project will focus on the interplay of hematopoietic stem cell metabolism and oncogenic signalling at the onset of leukemia. Understanding the mechanism is fundamental for the translation into clinical leukemia treatment, e.g. for the development of novel targeted therapies against leukemia stem cells. With a large spectrum of cellular and molecular biology methods, state-of-the-art cell sorting and novel time-lapse imaging and single cell tacking technologies (Rieger et al., Science 325, 2009) central questions in hematopoiesis will be addressed.
Candidate Requirements
Highly motivated candidates with an outstanding university degree in biology/biochemistry or a related study will gain from a young dynamic environment with scientific excellence. Fascination for modern biomedical research and enjoyment in experimental work are more relevant than previous work experience. However, a strong background in stem cell biology, immunology or cell biology might be of advantage. A research visit abroad is possible due to many international collaborators.
Benefits
The salary is based on TV-H13/2. The positions are initially limited to 3 years with the chance for prolongation.
If you are interested in joining this young and ambitious team in exciting times of stem cell research, then please direct complete applications (letter or email PDF) including a brief summary of previous research experience and letters of references to
