Positions in DFG-Funded Projects

The Institute of Molecular Pathogenesis, at its Jena site, is seeking to fill, as soon as possible, the position of a Research Associate (Doctoral Candidate) for the project "Heritability in cattle from a holobiontic perspective (Hi-HOPE)". The project's focus is on the heritability of the gastrointestinal microbiota in cattle based on the animals’ genotype. This includes studying the roles of and interactions between commensal and pathogenic bacteria.

The Institute of Molecular Pathogenesis, at its Jena site, is seeking to fill, as soon as possible, the position of a Research Associate (Doctoral Candidate) for the project “Functional investigation of Salmonella-microbiota-host interactions by using novel microaerobic intestinal organoid models from humans and chickens (SalMIOM)”. 

The project focuses on the molecular interactions between Salmonella and the animal gut microbiota by establishing a synthetic avian intestinal microbiota and combining it with a microaerobic intestinal organoid model.

These are qualification positions for junior researchers pursuing a PhD degree for three years. The positions are limited to 31.12.2028 with a possible prolongation until 31.12.2029. The goal of our research training group is to analyze the evolution of genomes in sexual and asexual organisms in animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms to provide a better understanding of the “paradox of sex” in nature.

The Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf offers 9 PhD positions for highly motivated MSc (f/m/d) in Molecular/Cellular Biology and/or Bioinformatics interested to perform their PhD thesis for up to four years in molecular cardiovascular research starting in October 2025. The temporary position serves as qualification according to §2 Abs 1WissZeitVG.

Aim of our research network is investigation into novel mechanisms of cellular plasticity in the cardiovascular system. To this end, researchers of IRTG3109 use a wide range of tools ranging from in vivo and ex vivo models of normal cardiovascular function and disease, lineage tracing in heart and vessels and, in particular, latest omics technologies in combination with cutting edge bioinformatics tools.

The goal of this research training group is to analyze the evolution of genomes in sexual and asexual organisms in animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms  to provide a better understanding of the “paradox of sex” in nature. 

The task of this postdoc will be mainly to guide and coordinate synthesis papers, to develop analysis pipelines, train PhD students in specific workshops and courses, and to develop overarching meta-analyses and joint papers, and present results in talks and at conferences.
