PhD Student (f/m/x)

The group headed by Daniel Stange concentrates on adult stem cells and cancer of the gastro-intestinal tract. We are interested in the biology of stem cells in normal homeostasis, tissue regeneration and malignant transformation. We use state of the art technologies such as conditional mouse lines and 3D cultures (so called organoids) of mouse and human material in connection with genetic manipulation using CRISPR/Cas to tackle our research questions. Furthermore, we extensively use patient-derived cancer organoids to understand the biology behind therapy response and resistance patterns. Your Profile:

• Master or equivalent degree in biology, biomedicine or related sciences
• strong background in cell biology/molecular biology
• interest in advanced cell culture methods and molecular Engineering
• fluent in written and spoken English
• interest in clinical related science

We offer:

• As part of our group you have the possibility to expand your skills in molecular biology, specifically in organoid cultures and their genetic manipulation.
• We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student with a strong passion for science and interested to work in a dynamic team.
• A Position according to the TV-L conditions

Application of women is appreciated. Disabled persons with equal qualification will be preferred.
