We offer:
An exciting project in the field of translational, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. This research project, funded by the DFG, aims to research a new matrix for reconstructing the ocular surface. The doctoral students receive comprehensive and transdisciplinary training in the field of tissue engineering and specialize in the most modern methods of regenerative medicine and molecular biology as well as animal testing. The aim of this project is to produce a patient-specific,
transparent and GMP-compliant tissue replacement for the regeneration of the ocular surface. The matrices based on human corneal cells, which have already been successfully established and tested in vitro, are being investigated for their biocompatibility in a mouse model in this project. An essential part of the project is therefore working with an animal model; cell culture-based methods, histological and immunohistological procedures, detection methods at the RNA (qrtPCR) and protein level (WesternBlot, FACS) are also used.
Required are:
The prerequisites for employment are a completed university degree (diploma (university)/master’s degree) with a scientific focus (biology, biomedicine, life science or comparable). Your research interest should lie in regenerative, translational medicine. Knowledge of animal experiments is required, including a FELASA certificate (or comparable qualification) and the willingness to work with animals. You should be able to work in a team and be highly motivated and determined to do establishment work. Good English skills are expected.
Desirable are:
In addition to a good knowledge of German, experience in cell culture, molecular biological working techniques and immunohistochemical analyses as well as experience in the planning, implementation and evaluation of scientific studies are desirable. Experience in preparing scientific presentations and publications is an advantage. As is a high degree of independence, flexibility and willingness to work in an interdisciplinary manner.
We offer:
A diverse, stimulating and challenging field of activity with the opportunity to work independently. We offer the opportunity for academic qualifications (doctorate). The Carl von Ossietzky University also offers scientific career support (e.g. through continuing education and training opportunities, https://uol.de/medizin/nachwuchs), flexible, family-friendly working hours, as well as VBL supplementary pension schemes in the public sector and payment in accordance with collective bargaining law (annual special payment, company pension scheme, capital-forming benefits) including 30 days annual leave. The Carl von Ossietzky University aims to increase the proportion of women in the scientific field. Women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply. According to Section 21 Paragraph 3 of the NHG, female applicants should be given priority if they have equivalent qualifications. Severely disabled people will be given priority if they are equally qualified.
