Ten (10) PhD Scholarships in Tissue Analytics for Stem Cell Based Diagnostics, University of Heidelberg, Germany (2016)

Our newly founded cooperative research training group “Tissue analytics for stem cell based diagnostics”, funded by the Baden-Württemberg (Germany) Landesgraduiertenförderung Program, invites applications for

10 PhD scholarships for up to 3 years (EUR 1.310/month)

The research training group is located at the Medical Faculty Mannheim of the University Heidelberg and the University of Applied Sciences Mannheim. The newly founded training research group unites ten international research groups with complementary expertise in life sciences, medicine, device development as well as biomedical computing. Major topics are the use of stem cells under different conditions (chronic wounds, muscle and nerve regeneration, kidney disease), the development of evaluation techniques like tissue clearing and the assessment of functional tissue parameters like for example oxygenation. Special emphasis will be put on the evaluation of 3D-data, their segmentation and quantification.

We invite applications from highly motivated candidates with above-average qualifications, passion for and experience in research, and the willingness to actively participate in the research training group. Successful applicants will have Master degrees in either Biology, Cell/Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Device Engineering, Bioinformatics or other relevant disciplines. An excellent command of English is required.
