PhD position / Promotionsstelle in Cancer Cell Biology (Marburg, Germany)

We are seeking PhD candidates in the area of cell biology and cancer biology. We are studying novel aspects of nuclear actin dynamics and their impact on cancer cell invasion and regulation of actin-dependent gene expression. We apply molecular and biochemical techniques with advanced live cell imaging.
