PhD Project "Centriole Biogenesis" (Schiebel_224) - Heidelberg University

Employer

Schiebel Group, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany

Description

Are you passionate about cell biology and eager to explore the fascinating world of centrioles? The Centre for Molecular Biology (ZMBH) at Heidelberg University, under the supervision of Prof. Elmar Schiebel, invites applications for a PhD position focusing on centriole biogenesis.
About the Position:
The successful candidate will join Prof. Elmar Schiebel’s research group, renowned for its groundbreaking work on centrioles and centrosome function. This PhD project will investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying centriole biogenesis, with a focus on understanding how centrioles duplicate and organize microtubules. The research will combine advanced microscopy techniques, biochemistry, and genetic tools to unravel the complexities of centriole assembly and function.
Key Responsibilities:
• Conduct cutting-edge research on centriole biogenesis and its regulation.
• Utilize advanced microscopy and imaging techniques to analyze centriole structure and dynamics.
• Perform biochemical assays including insect cell expression and genetic experiments to investigate centriole-associated proteins.
• Collaborate with a team of researchers and present findings at conferences and in scientific publications.

Candidate requirements

• A Master’s degree or equivalent in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Strong background in cell and molecular biology techniques.
• Experience with microscopy or biochemistry techniques is advantageous.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

About the employer

Why Join Us?
