PhD Student in Stem Cell Biology and Neurobiology (Molecular Biology / Cell Biology)

University of Bonn, Institute of Reconstructive Neurobiology
 
Fachrichtung Grundlagenforschung
Beschreibung des Jobs Applications are invited for a DFG-funded position (spp1356.de) of a PhD student to join the well-equipped Stem Cell Engineering Group at the Department of Reconstructive Neurobiology, University of Bonn. The research project focuses on cellular reprogramming and transdifferentiation of somatic cells into neural cells (Thier et al., Cell Stem Cell 10, 473–479, April 6, 2012; Nolden et al., Nature Methods. 2006 Jun;3(6):461).

Research will involve the development of cellular reprogramming strategies to derive human neural stem cells and the analysis of molecular mechanisms underlying the reprogramming at the molecular and cellular level.
Qualifikationen The successful applicant should have a PhD or MD/PhD with a strong background in neurobiology and cell biology. Previous experience in at least one of the following areas is essential: cultivation of pluripotent human or mouse ES cells; retro- or lentiviral transduction, neural differentiation.

Self-motivation, enthusiasm, and creativity are expected. You will benefit from working in a stimulating interdisciplinary environment encompassing a wide spectrum of modern stem cell biology. We are providing excellent working and laboratory conditions in a newly established laboratory.
