Position Overview

The Liver Development and Regeneration team at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg is seeking a dedicated PhD student in liver development and regeneration. This role involves engaging in a research project that employs molecular biology techniques, zebrafish genetics, and advanced imaging methodologies to explore the intricate molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern morphogenetic interactions and communication during liver development.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will:

  • Conduct research utilizing molecular biology and genetics.
  • Investigate the roles of endothelial cells in liver architecture formation.
  • Employ state-of-the-art imaging and molecular techniques.
  • Collaborate within an international and diverse research team.
Candidate Profile

Essential Qualifications:

  • MSc degree in life sciences (e.g., Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biomedicine, Biochemistry) or related disciplines.
  • Proficiency in molecular biology techniques.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Desirable Qualifications:

  • Experience in cell and/or developmental biology.
  • Familiarity with microscopy and image analysis.
  • Good command of English for scientific communication.
  • Experience working with zebrafish.
  • Authorization to work with animal subjects.
Project Details

This PhD project aims to elucidate the molecular and cellular functions of endothelial cells in establishing a functional liver structure during development. The research will focus on hepatocyte polarization and their connections to the biliary ductal network.

The selected candidate will receive comprehensive training in molecular biology, zebrafish care and genetics, fluorescence microscopy, and computational image analysis.

Working Environment

The Ober group is a collaborative and dynamic team within the Division of Developmental Biology at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
