About the Project

2 PhD positions in experimental cardiovascular research with a focus on inflammation and cardio-immunology in the context of myocardial remodeling and atherosclerosis.

Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of morbidity and mortality in Western societies. By applying cutting-edge tools in cell phenotyping, imaging, and transcriptomics, we focus on the contribution of innate and adaptive immune cells to cardiovascular biology, bridging immunology and cardiovascular pathology. A special interest lies in cell biology and in the molecular signaling pathways that drive (cardio-)vascular inflammation and immunology. In addition, we will explore the potential of novel immune-cell therapies to treat cardiovascular diseases.

We offer

The opportunity to work on fascinating scientific topics in an international and highly collaborative research environment of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC1525) “Cardio-ImmuneInterfaces”
Continuous scientific mentoring and career support
PhD candidates enroll in the Graduate School of Life Sciences in Würzburg
Competitive TV-L salary

Qualification profile

You have completed a university degree in life sciences or related areas.
You have previous hands-on experience with experimental models in the field of inflammation and cardiovascular research.
You are highly motivated with an intrinsic interest in research on molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases
You have the ability to work in a team, possess self-initiative and creativity, as well as an independent way of working.
You have very good knowledge of spoken and written English
