PhD candidate (f/m/d) for “Characterization of protein cleavage in regulated cell death”

The Biochemistry and Functional Proteomics group (www.proteasedegradomics.org) at the Faculty of Biology is seeking to recruit a PhD candidate (f/m/d) for “Characterization of protein cleavage in regulated cell death”

• Application deadline: 15.01.2024

• Publication date: 21.12.2023

• Start-date: At the earliest possible date.

• Part-time position (65 %)

• Id no.: 00003503

Our team studies biological signaling and protein function with a focus on proteolysis on a proteome-wide scale using mass spectrometry. As part of the SFB1403 (www.sfb1403.uni-koeln.de), we are using termini enrichment approaches to identify new proteolytic processing events and their function in regulated cell death (RCD). The project further aims to deconvolute the activities of different caspases in distinct RCD pathways using optogenetic tools.  

Your profile

• Master´s degree in biochemistry, biology, or related area.

• Hands-on experience in biochemistry, molecular biology and cell culture.

• Experience in protein analytics, proteomics and/or mass spectrometry.

• Knowledge of R, python or similar scripting languages are advantageous.

• Motivation and willingness to learn, self-organization and team player skills.

• Fluency in English is essential, German is beneficial.
