The newly established Research Training Group GRK2599, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), announces the opening of:

11 Doctoral Positions (Dr. rer. nat.)
(January 01, 2024 for 3 years)

The goal of the proposed Research Training Group (RTG) 2599 is to establish an internationally competitive research and training program to promote young scientists and medical students in the field of immunology. The research field focuses on defined molecular regulators in different cells of the immune system, including DCs and macrophages and subpopulations found within the group of T cells and B cells and their roles in inflammation, autoimmunity, infection and cancer.

To identify and explore new fine-tuners of adaptive immune responses and immune memory. The doctoral candidates will apply genome-wide transcriptome analysis, modern imaging techniques, transgenic mouse technologies and CRISPR-mediated genome editing.

Core elements of the training program are a bi-weekly RTG Paul-Ehrlich-Club, research-specific as well as interdisciplinary hard-skill and soft-skill workshops, internal RTG research retreats and RTG network meetings, the RTG guest speaker series, the RTG’s public relation program as well as a trainee program financed by the RTG in research labs outside of Germany.

We are looking for natural science doctoral candidates from Germany and abroad with a very good master’s degree in biology, biochemistry, immunology, pharmacy, human biology, chemistry, or related subjects.

Detailed information about the research and training programs and the application process can be found on our homepage at http://www.lymphozyten.de.

The ONLINE application starts now and will be closed after June 30, 2023.

announces the opening of:

 2 doctoral positions for medical students

 at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg & the Universitätsklinikum Erlangen
(Starting September 2024)

About the program:

The Research Training Group 2599 (speaker: Prof. Dr. Hans-Martin Jäck) investigates new factors and signaling pathways that fine-tune the adaptive immune system. To achieve this goal, we have established a structured research and training program to support Ph.D and Dr med. candidates in immunology.

Core elements of the research training program are the Paul Ehrlich Club with guest lecture series, research-specific and interdisciplinary science-related soft-skill workshops, internal retreats and networking meetings, public outreach, and international research stays.

We are looking for motivated medical students who are eager to complete their doctoral thesis in a structured doctoral program.

Detailed information about the research and training programs as well as the application procedure can be found on our homepage under http://www.lymphozyten.de.

We offer:

• a structured program for Dr. med. candidates
• a successfully implemented qualification and support concept
• attractive scholarships
• professional career coaching workshop
• a broad research program
• Interdisciplinary training in immunology
• Travel funds
