Über diesen Job
PhD Student (m/w/d)
wanted for the next possible date at the Heidelberg University Hospital, Department of Infectious Diseases, Molecular Virology .
The Munschauer Lab at the Centre for Integrative Infectious Disease Research (CIID) is seeking a highly motivated doctoral researcher in the area of Molecular Virology or RNA Biology to work on an innovative ERC-funded research project. The project is centered on the systematic functional dissection of RNA-protein complexes at the virus-host interface and will bring together experimental and computational scientists. The Munschauer Lab takes an RNA-centric and a systems biology-inspired approach to study how RNA viruses interface with their hosts and how host cells respond to infection. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary and international team of computational and experimental scientists, gaining unique opportunities to develop and apply a cutting-edge suite of systems virology techniques to dissect the RNA biology of viruses and their hosts. This role provides ample opportunities for professional growth within an innovative research environment committed to scientific excellence and collaboration.
