The German Cancer Research Center is the largest biomedical research institution in Germany. With more than 3,000 employees, we operate an extensive scientific program in the field of cancer research.
Together with university partners at seven renowned partner sites, we have established the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK).
For the DKTK partner site Freiburg we are seeking a highly motivated PhD student in the field of combined cancer immunotherapy and radiotherapy.
Job description:
The position is located in the Section of Radiobiology & Tumor Immunotherapy of the Department of Radiation Oncology, University Medical Center Freiburg. We study combinations of immunotherapeutics with focal radiation therapy (RT).
