Open PhD position

Our laboratory at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, Germany,
is interested in the role of redox signaling and protein redox regulation in tumor cells
(for more information seehttp://www.dkfz.de/en/redoxregulation/).

The PhD position will be part of the newly established Collaborative Research Center (Sonderforschungsbereich, SFB) “Cellular surveillance and damage
 response” (see http://www.zmbh.uni-heidelberg.de/sfb1036/).

The project ‘Thiol peroxidases as sensors and transmitters of cytoprotective peroxide signals’ will address the role of thiol peroxidases in transcription factor regulation. We employ a broad range of techniques, ranging from Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (redox-dependent protein-protein interactions) to Cell Biology (live-cell imaging) and in vivo studies (transgenic mice).

We are an English-speaking, international laboratory with a friendly and productive work atmosphere and state-of-the-art equipment, located in Germany’s largest biomedical research institute. Successful candidates will enter the Helmholtz International Graduate School for Cancer Research.

Applicants must have a Master degree or equivalent in Biology, Biochemistry or related fields. Candidates should have a strong background in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and/or Cell Biology. We expect excellent communication skills in English and enthusiasm for science.

Applications must include a cover letter, CV, copies of high school and university exams, and two letters of reference. Please send your application as one pdf file to t.dick@dkfz.de.
