Investigating the hormonal control of phosphate homeostasis as well as the molecular interface of iron metabolism with bone turnover and erythropoiesis

The Hepatology group at the Medical Department of the University of Innsbruck is looking for candidates to apply for a 3 year fully funded PhD student position. The project will be carried out within the Christian Doppler Laboratory on ‘Iron and Phosphate Biology’ and investigate the hormonal control of phosphate homeostasis as well as the molecular interface of iron metabolism with bone turnover and erythropoiesis.

Applicants are expected to have experience in molecular biology, genetics and possibly in bone metabolism. A master degree in a life science subject - preferably in Biology, Biochemistry or Medicine or an equivalent qualification is required for registration with the PhD program at the Medical University of Innsbruck.

We will consider applications including a motivation letter and a curriculum vitae with a description of previous experience before the 30th of October 2019.

Applications should be submitted electronically at [Email Address Removed]. Further information on the lab can be found at http://heplab.at

Pay will be according to national regulations set by the Austrian Science Funds for PhD students https://www.fwf.ac.at/de/forschungsfoerderung/personalkostensaetze/
