Philipps Universität Marburg
At the Philipps-Universität Marburg
The Interdisciplinary Research Centre „Tumor and Inflammation”
was recently established as part of an excellence program (LOEWE) of the state government. The new Research Centre will bring together the internationally renowned local research groups working in the areas of molecular tumor biology and immune regulation. Research projects will be centred on tumor-host interactions that support tumor growth and progression with a focus on transcriptional signalling pathways.
A main goal of the Research Centre is the establishment of a postgraduate education program in October 2008. The structured program includes the teaching of theoretical, applied and technological know-how in the research area of the centre. As part of this program we invite applications for the following positions
16 positions for graduate students
Applicants should hold a M.Sc. degree or equivalent and should have practical experience in the area of the Research Centre.
The following institutions and supervisors are members of the Research Centre: Institute of Molecular Biology and Tumor Research (Bauer, Brehm, Müller, Suske); Developmental Biology (Renkawitz-Pohl); Genetics, JLU Ciessen (Renkawitz); Hematology/Ocology (Neubauer, Stiewe, Burchert); Castroenterology (Gress, Buchholz, Ellenrieder, Michl); Med. Microbiology (Lohoff); Immunology (Bauer); Pneumology (Bals); Dermatology (Hertl); Clinical Chemistry (Renz, Nockher).
Philipps-Universität is an equal opportunities employer, and applications from women are encouraged. Applications from candidates with children are welcome – the Philipps-Universität is dedicated to being a family-friendly university. Qualified disabled people are also encouraged to apply.
Applications should be sent as a single pdf file to tumor-inflammation@staff.uni-marburg.de by August 31, 2008, and should include at least two references. Head of the Research Centre is Prof. Dr. Rolf Müller, Institute of Molecular Biology and Tumor Research (IMT), Marburg, Germany.
