PhD Student – Immunotherapeutic targeting of AML Leukemia-Initiating cells with CAR-T-cells

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our Leukemia Research Group at the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Experimental Pediatric Hematology & Oncology. Our joint labs are at the forefront of pediatric leukemia research, focusing on genetic and epigenetic analyses and pioneering innovative molecularly-guided therapeutic approaches.

Your role
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly aggressive and challenging form of leukemia, especially in children. Despite advancements in cancer treatment, pediatric AML continues to have a poor prognosis and remains difficult to treat, particularly due to the high risk of relapse and upcoming resistance to conventional therapies.
  • This PhD project aims to characterize the leukemia-initiating population in pediatric AML with flow cytometry-based enrichment combined with cutting-edge single-cell transcriptomics and proteomics as a basis for the development of targeted CAR-T-cell immunotherapies.
  • The anticipated outcomes of this research will not only deepen our understanding of the step-wise progression of pediatric AML, but will also advance the development of new therapies capable of eradicating persistent cancer cells, potentially transforming treatment options for AML.
Who you are
  • Master's degree in life sciences or equivalent
  • Passion for discovery of novel therapy approaches and epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation
  • Collaborative spirit & good communication skills
  • Experience in basic laboratory techniques (i.e. molecular biology, flow cytometry etc.)
  • Proficiency in spoken and written English
  • Due to legal regulations, valid proof of measles immunity / measles vaccination is required
What we offer
  • Collective agreement: In addition to an attractive salary based on a collective agreement with an annual special payment, you benefit from long-term security through company pension schemes
  • Collaborative spirit: Experience in basic laboratory techniques (i.e. molecular biology, flow cytometry etc.), Proficiency in spoken and written English, Excellent scientific environment & dedicated mentoring, Training in novel cutting-edge techniques to study epigenetic mechanisms in leukemia cells, Collaboration opportunities with national & international world-leading laboratories, Participation in training and qualification programs of the MSNZ and the Goethe University
  • Mobility: Free public transport in all Hessen (Free State Ticket Hessen)
  • Campus: Our attractive university hospital campus offers a modern cafeteria, various cafes, and opportunities to rest in numerous green spaces. A walk on the riverside of the Main offers relaxation during breaks
  • Work-Life-Balance: Part-time employment is possible, we offer childcare in our daycare center (if you have any questions, please contact UKF-Familienservice), child care during holidays
  • Health Promotion: Benefit from our attractive health offers. We offer regular online and face-to-face courses on nutrition, relaxation, sports and exercise
  • Professional development: Internal and external training for your professional development
  • Any questions? Many answers can be found in our FAQs for new employees. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us
