The Department of Nephrology at the University Hospital Düsseldorf is a globally recognized center for advanced research on kidney diseases. Our state-of-the-art program encompasses a wide range of projects and focuses on RNA biology in genetic kidney diseases and acute kidney injury, which we address through various collaborative initiatives. We use state-of-the-art methods to study RNA-protein interactions, RNA modifications, OMICS techniques, and in-house bioinformatics, combined with in vitro and in vivo models, with the goal of translating fundamental scientific findings into clinical applications.
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our dynamic team. This is a DFG-funded research project conducted in collaboration with the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin to better understand the role of RNA modifications and RNA-protein interactions in polycystic kidney disease (more information at https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/568817395). This is an exceptional opportunity for a student with a passion and interest in researching the molecular and cellular basis of a disease that accounts for 10% of all cases of kidney failure.
The employment contract will be concluded with Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. The advertised position requires work at the University Hospital Düsseldorf.
Severely disabled applicants will be given preferential consideration if equally qualified.
Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is committed to increasing the proportion of women on its faculty.
