13 PhD Positions, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster, Germany (2019)

Within the Research Training Group Chemical Biology of Ion Channels (Chembion) funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and established at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster 13 positions for PhD students, 13 TV-L (65 %)

are available. 13 scientists of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster have teamed up with their complementary expertise to focus on the chemical biology of ion channels. The interdisciplinary research activities are centered on five topics: ligand recognition, subtype specific modulation, molecular imaging, molecular and cellular physiology, integrative (patho)physiology. Our vision of this interdisciplinary project is to solve physiological questions in the field of ion channels with innovative chemical methods, to bring together the molecular world of chemistry/pharmacy with the function-centered world of medicine and to develop the internationalization of our doctoral students.

We will provide a structured 3-years cutting-edge PhD training program in and beyond the fields mentioned above. The anticipated starting date will be October 1st, 2019.

We are looking for highly motivated and talented PhD students coming from different disciplines, e. g. pharmacy, chemistry, computational life sciences, medicine, biology, biochemistry, physics. Excellent command of spoken and written English, communication skills as well as team spirit are essential. We are offering a competitive, interdisciplinary environment with a track record of intense mutual collaboration. In addition to the individual training-through-research our program includes further elements such as an up to 6 months’ internship abroad, retreats, lab rotation and symposia.
