PhD POSITION (ERC-funded)

PhD POSITION (ERC-funded) IN CELL & MECHANOBIOLOGY OF PLATELETS & MEGAKARYOCYTES.

SHARE OUR PASSION.

Did you know that our bone marrow yields colossal cells that actively fragment into pieces?
These fragments tirelessly patrol our blood vessels, serving as a vital defense against bleeding.
Our mission is to unravel the fundamental principles driving these processes in health and
disease. Therefore, we use a multidisciplinary approach combining microengineering
techniques, genetics, advanced live cell imaging and intravital microscopy. Furthermore, we
assess the clinical significance of our discoveries in mouse models, as well as patient samples.

What to Expect:

• Exciting research in a dynamic, team-oriented department
• Opportunity to participate in structured graduate programs in Munich
• Integration into the diverse research landscape of Campus Großhadern-Martinsried with daily seminars, workshops, and activities
• Participation in events organized by the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research
• Access to LMU Graduate Centre and MMRS for complementary courses

What We Offer:

• Attractive remuneration based on collective agreement for the public service of the federal states (TV-L)
• 30 days of vacation
• Career development

Requirements:

• Master's degree in Cell Biology/Human Biology or related field
• Interest in mechanobiology, cell adhesion and migration, and cardiovascular biology
• Proficiency in English
• Experience in imaging, image analysis, and/or mouse models (preferred but not
• essential)
