Jetzt als PhD student (m/f/d) bei Universitätsklinikum Freiburg durchstarten – Standort Freiburg

The lab has a focus on translational immunological research. We are particularly interested in the mechanisms regulating T cells in chronic infection, cancer and autoimmune disease, with a focus on understanding T cell exhaustion. The aim of the funded project is to access antigen-specific T-cell responses linked to outcome and pathogenesis of chronic viral infections. Your work will unravel diverging mechanisms of antigen-specific CD8+ T cell adaptation and dysfunction and contribute to a better understanding of human immune responses with implications for therapeutic strategies.

• a translational project in a clinically relevant setting with the possibility to implement your own ideas
• working in a dedicated interdisciplinary team of biologists and physicians on exciting research topics
• possible participation in a graduate program
• a unique network of excellent partners for continuous support in development of your scientific profile
• a good working atmosphere in modern laboratories with cutting-edge equipment
• buddy System for new doctoral researchers
• participation in a wide range of further training opportunities and participation in (inter)national conferences
• salaries are based on the German academic standards (TV-L E13, 65 %) with attractive employe benefits, e.g. Jobticket UKF
• an annual additional payment (Weihnachtsgeld)
• 30 days of vacation

• autonomous processing of research tasks dealing with immune responses in chronic viral infections
• working with infectious sample material (S3** lab)
• application of state-of-the-art and cutting-edge methods of cell and molecular biology including
• high dimensional FACS and single cell transcriptome analysis
• establishing of new methods to elaborate on subsequent research questions
• presentation of results on regular lab and consortium meetings and (inter)national conferences
• supervision of students

If you are interested, please submit your application in German or English (including CV, a motivation letter and contact details of two references).
