• Stem cell culture and organoid differentiation: You will expand and characterize multiple patient-derived (iPSC) lines. You will then learn and apply protocols for organoid differentiation using these cell lines.

• Experimental design and scientific method: You will read the literature, take a deep dive into the relevant biology, and then design experiments using our disease models to reveal molecular changes in cells during early tumorigenesis.

• Molecular and imaging analysis: To collect data and characterize differentiation products, you will apply molecular biology (e.g., qPCR) and imaging techniques (e.g., confocal microscopy).

• Record keeping and dissemination: You will be responsible for collecting, analyzing, and summarizing data in a structured and accurate manner. You will present your findings at lab meetings, institutional seminars, and scientific conferences.

• Teamwork: You will work in a highly collaborative team of computational and experimental biologists.

What you bring for this position: 

• Enrolled in a Master's degree in a relevant subject (e.g. molecular or stem cell biology)

• Excellent technical skills (e.g. qPCR, cell culture, sterile working; experience with pluripotent stem cells is highly desirable)

• Experience (e.g. internships) in a relevant area is a plus

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English (German not required)

• Self-motivated, enthusiastic and eager to learn, good team player, exceptional commitment, and creativity

• Scientific mindset and problem-solving attitude
