Rotations
We are looking for curious highly motivated rotation students that want to join us in our efforts to study the fascinating immune system from the angle of macrophages. Depending on the actual project, you will be trained in flow cytometry, the handling of animals, analysis of pre-clinical disease models (IBD, EAE), and gene expression and epigenome profiling.
Masters and PhD students
We are currently recruiting candidates for Master, PhD positions. We look for highly motivated individuals who want to join us in our efforts to decipher the complex beauty of macrophage development and function in health and pathology.
Postdoctoral positions
We are looking for qualified, intellectually curious and highly motivated candidates holding a Ph.D. in biology, preferably in immunology, molecular biology, genomics or bio-informatics.
We are currently looking for postdoctoral fellows to join our team for two specific funded projects.
Project I is a continuation of our recent surprise identification of a novel fungus that outcompetes the pathobiont Candida albicans (Sekeresova Kralova et al, JExMed 2024). We now aim to define the mechanistic details underlying the competition, exploring both genetic and metabolomic circuits. Moreover, we will expand our efforts to use the fungal competition for candidiasis management.
Project II is a collaborative effort with colleagues at the WIS, Tel Aviv University, and the Technion to investigate cancer cachexia and the role of myeloid immune cells and the central and peripheral nervous system. For background please see (Goldmann, Adler et al. Cancer Discovery, 2023)
If one of these projects speaks to you, please contact us. Candidates do not necessarily have to be immunologists and can include individuals with computational and/or experimental backgrounds.
