Join Our Team as a Master's Student in Phage Biology

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Master's student to join our team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI. As a research assistant, you will be working on a Master's thesis project focused on phage biology, under the guidance of our experienced team.

About the Project

Our team is involved in the isolation and characterization of bacteriophages from the environment, with the goal of developing new biotechnological and medical applications. As a Master's student, you will be responsible for using microbiological techniques to culture bacteria, isolate, purify, and characterize phages. You will also use molecular biology techniques to extract genomic DNA for NGS sequencing and make use of bioinformatic workflows to analyze sequencing data.

Requirements
  • You have successfully completed your Bachelor's degree in the biological sciences or a related field.
  • You have practical knowledge of basic molecular biology techniques and microbiology, as well as experience in carrying out data analysis and data presentation using common computer programs.
  • You are enthusiastic about learning new practical skills and approach unfamiliar topics with curiosity.
  • Ideally, you are a strong communicator in both German and English.
What We Offer
  • A Master's thesis in a challenging international and interdisciplinary work environment with access to advanced technologies for biological and biochemical analyses.
  • Valuable experience and preparation for future research or professional positions, where you will learn a large number of relevant scientific techniques and expand your skills in planning experimental work in an independent manner.
  • You will be part of a team with two PhD students, two technicians, and two other Master's students.
  • Exciting insights into the work and everyday life of a research institution.
  • Exchange with other research groups and interactions with industry partners.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation, and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability.
