The group for Stem Cell Biology & Regeneration (Dr. Jens Schwamborn) at the ZMBE - Institute of Cell Biology the University Muenster / Germany has an open Position for a PhD – Student (Starting March 2013 or later).
Our group investigates stem cell maintenance and neuronal differentiation at the interface of systems biology and bio-medical research. In particular we aim on gaining new insights in the complex processes that regulate neural stem cell functions during neurodegenerative diseases.
The overall aim of our work is to make endogenously present adult neural stem cells applicable for therapeutic approaches aiming for the replacement of neurons that are lost during neurodegenerative diseases (in particular Parkinson’s disease). Furthermore, we make use of human patient specific iPS cells to in vitro model Parkinson’s disease.
Successful applicants should have a strong interest in Cell Biology and Neurobiology. Experience in work with human iPS cells is required for this position.
We are looking for highly motivated people who share our passion for research, are interested in acquiring new skills and wish to be part of an international team.
