Eight (8) PhD Positions in Inflammation Research, Universitätsklinikum Schleswig - Holstein, Germany (2015)

So far, the interrelations between environment and genetics have still not been well understood. More in-depth knowledge on trigger mechanisms and interdependencies between environmental and genetic factors is urgently needed to push inflammation research forward. Our results will help to define novel pathophysiological trigger factors and aid the development of innovative therapeutic approaches.

As a doctoral student of the DFG Research Training Group, you will be integrated into the Cluster of Excellence Inflammation at Interfaces, which brings together scientists and clinicians from multiple disciplines. You will work in close cooperation with scientists and clinicians of various institutes at both Kiel and Lübeck Universities and find an exceptional research infrastructure that allows the latest state-of-the-art research; the Training Group is embedded into the new technology center ZMB (http://www.zmb.uni-kiel.de/) that hosts several high-throughput platforms including Next Generation Sequencing and High Performance Computing. The excellent networking between institutes, clinicians, scientists will open up new avenues for your PhD research.

Participation in scientific meetings and retreats, research visits abroad, soft skill courses and tutorials, will complement your PhD training at the DFG Research Training Group.

The salary for each position will be 65% of a full position on TV-L 13.
