A research position for a PhD student (scholarship) is available in the lab of Prof. Dr. Karin Hartmann, Department of Dermatology, University of Luebeck, Germany (http://www.grk1727.uni-luebeck.de/). The position is supported for 36 months by the Research Training Group (RTG) Modulation of Autoimmunity (GRK1727).
