The Institute of Anatomy at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel is a dynamic institute with international and interactive groups and with access to world-class facilities. The research group of Prof. Dr. Franziska Theilig and Dr. Eileen Dahlke (Cardiovascular and Renal research) is working on the development of hypertension and edema formation as a consequence of kidney diseases. Furthermore, our group has the aim to identify signaling network regulating endocytosis. The working languages are German and English. The research is done in a collaborative network with leading labs in Kiel, other labs in Germany, and abroad. Moreover, Kiel is a beautiful city located at the Baltic Sea offering excellent opportunities for cultural and outdoor activities like sailing.
