Doctoral Research Associate (gn*)
Fixed-term of 3 years | Part-time with 65% | Salary according to salary group E13 TV-L | Institute of Physiology II | Research training group Chemical Biology of Ion Channels (Chembion) | Job ID: 10524
We are UKM. We have a clear social mission, and with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.
To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise at the Institute of Physiology II for the research training group Chemical Biology of Ion Channels – ideally with you on board!
The Chembion team at the Institute of Physiology II has a strong background in studying the function of ion channels in tumour pathophysiology using predominantly live-cell imaging techniques. The current project will explore the role of potassium channels in tumour immune defense.
Your Tasks
The position is tied to working towards a doctorate. 12 scientists from the University of Münster have teamed up to bring their complementary expertise to focus on the chemical biology of ion channels. Their interdisciplinary research activities are centered on five topics: ligand recognition, subtype specific modulation, molecular imaging, molecular and cellular physiology and integrative (patho-)physiology. Our vision for this interdisciplinary project is to solve physiological questions in the field of ion channels using innovative chemical methods. We aim to bring together the molecular world of chemistry/pharmacy and the activity-centered world of medicine. The internationalisation of our doctoral research associates is strongly promoted.
We will provide a structured 3-year cutting-edge PhD training programme in and beyond the fields mentioned above.
What we expect:
- Motivated doctoral researchers holding a state examination degree in pharmacy or medicine or, alternatively, a master’s degree in chemistry or biology
- Excellent knowledge of spoken and written English, communication skills as well as team spirit are essential
- German language skills are not a requirement, but a willingness to learn is expected
What we offer:
- A competitive, interdisciplinary environment with a track record of intense mutual collaboration
- In addition to the individual training-through-research, our programme includes additional elements such as a 3–6 month international internship, retreats, lab rotation and symposia
Apply now via our career portal until 23.04.2025 including:
- A motivation letter (0.5 pages)
- Your CV
- Copies of relevant certificates
- A prioritized list of up to two preferred Chembion laboratories
Please submit the application electronically as a single PDF file via the online application platform.
