Study Area: Cancer Cell Niches and Tumor Microenvironments
Scholarship Description: These PhD student positions offer an exciting opportunity to delve into the complexities of cancer cell niches and tumor microenvironments. Our research aims to decipher the metabolic mechanisms that shape the immune-cell composition and function within the bone marrow. This will be accomplished through cutting-edge techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolomics analysis. We seek highly motivated candidates with a keen interest in combining wet lab and computational analysis, even though prior knowledge of bioinformatics analysis (e.g., R, Python) is advantageous but not obligatory.
Eligibility: To be considered for these positions, applicants should meet the following criteria:
- Possess an excellent graduate degree in biology, biomedicine, biochemistry, computational biology, bioinformatics, or a related discipline.
- Demonstrate a strong knowledge and interest in cell and tumor biology.
- Showcase strong laboratory skills.
- Have a good command of the English language.
Required Documents: Interested candidates are required to submit the following documents as a single PDF file:
- A cover letter with a statement of motivation.
- Curriculum vitae.
- Relevant degree certificates and academic transcripts.
- Contact details of 2 independent references (with one being the Master’s thesis supervisor).
How to Apply: Applications should be sent via email to phd-applications@msnz-wuerzburg.de.
Last Date: The application deadline for these PhD student positions is October 31, 2023. Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the Institute for Virology and Immunobiology at the University of Würzburg and make a significant impact in the field of cancer cell niches and tumor microenvironments.
