Your Tasks
Our Molecular Cardiology lab is inviting applications for a PhD position to investigate the role of novel molecules and pathways in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Our broader translational aim is to explore these molecules as potential targets for therapy which will then be tested in vivo, including utilization of cardiac gene transfer (AAV-based) and small molecule screens. As part of the newly formed CRC 1550 - Molecular Circuits of Heart Disease, we have established collaborations with multiple established PIs within the Heidelberg and Mannheim experimental and clinical cardiovascular communities. As such, successful candidates will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment and the opportunity to thrive in a highly collaborative scientific environment.
In our molecular cardiology lab within a modern research building (“Analysezentrum III”, University Hospital Heidelberg) we offer a dynamic and highly interactive and cross-disciplinary research environment. All OMICs experiments will be analyzed in cooperation with excellent groups on campus (e.g. Prof. Saez-Rodriguez) which offers additional learning opportunities. PhD students will join the Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School (HBIGS) and will also take part in a specialized cardiovascular curriculum. As our group is part of the DZHK (“Deutsches Zentrum für Herz-Kreislaufforschung”) you´ll have access to additional education and mentoring programs as well as specific young investigator funding opportunities.
Your Profile
· Master's degree in a related field such as biology / biochemistry / life sciences
· Previous experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, -OMICS, and/or genetically modified animal models of cardiac disease will be viewed favorably
· Basic knowledge on bioinformatics viewed as a plus
· Ability and desire to work effectively in a team
· Self-motivated and creative thinker
We offer
· Goal-oriented, individual training and development opportunities
· Targeted initial training
· Job ticket
