PhD Candidates and Postdoctoral Scientists at RWTH Aachen University

At the RWTH Aachen University several positions for highly motivated PhD candidates and postdoctoral scientists are available within the IZKF funded consortium:

Sodium channel‐related pain disorders: From molecular mechanisms towards personalized treatment

Positions are open in the groups of the following PIs: Profs. Angelika Lampert (Neurophysiology), Ingo Kurth, Natja Haag (Human Genetics), Jan-Philipp Machtens, Günther Schmalzing, Ralf Hausmann (Pharmacology), Giulia Rossetti (FZ Jülich),

Roman Rolke (Clinic for Palliative Care), Markus Rothermel, Marc Spehr (Biology II), Ute Habel, Han-Gue Jo (Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics), Dohrn, Häussler (Neurology and Neuropediatrics).

In this highly translational, multigroup research consortium we aim to study the molecular basis for pain perception with focus on the voltage-gated sodium channel from its structure (computer modelling, biochemistry), biophysical gating (patch clamp), cellular effects (iPS-cell derived sensory neurons, mouse model), genetics and clinical pictures to central effects (fMRI).

The positions are funded for three years.
