PhD in Molecular Immunology and Infectious Diseases (Magdeburg, Germany) (Magdeburg, Germany)

The research group of Organ-specific Inflammation (Head: Prof. Dr. D. Schlüter) of the Institute of Medical Microbiology of the OvG University of Magdeburg offers a PhD position in Molecular Immunology and Infectious Diseases (University of Magdeburg Germany)

The PhD position is financed by the State of Saxony-Anhalt and associated to the graduate school MGK 854 (http://www.sfb854.de). Topic of the project is the analysis of the functional role of E3 ligases and inhibitory signalling molecules (deubiquitinylases, DUBs) in dendritic cells, T cells and brain resident cell populations in experimental infectious (listeriosis, toxoplasmosis, malaria) and autoimmune diseases (Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis). These experiments include the use of mice with either DC, T cell and brain-specific deletion of E3 ligases or DUBs. The combined in vivo and in vitro experiments include immunological (cell proliferation assays, cytotoxic T cell assays, FACS, MACS, cell culture, CBA, ELISA), molecular biological (qPCR, siRNA, transfection) and biochemical (WB, IP, EMSA) techniques. We are a team of immunologists and microbiologists searching for a highly motivated candidate. Applications of candidates with a degree in biology, biochemist!
