PhD positions
on the topic of Intramembrane Proteolysis

Applications are invited for an enthusiastic and motivated PhD student to join the group of Dr. Marius Lemberg at the Center for Molecular Biology University of Heidelberg (ZMBH, http://www.zmbh.uni-heidelberg.de/lemberg). The lab, which has been recently founded by the Network Aging Research (http://www.nar.uni-heidelberg.de) focuses on the role of intramembrane proteases on membrane homoeostasis.

Intramembrane proteolysis has over the last few years become increasingly recognised as an important signalling mechanism with functions ranging from transcription control to regulated growth factor secretion. We are interested to elucidate the function and roles of these proteases in physiologigical processes and in events of molecular aging. By combining various approaches ranging from biochemistry, cell biology to bioinformatics we aim to identify their substrates and analyze their function. State of the art facilities (proteomics, imaging) and a newly established PhD program are available at the institute/faculty. The salary will be based on the German public labour contract (TV-L E13/2).

Please send your application including references to m.lemberg@zmbh.uni-heidelberg.de, or by mail to Dr. Marius Lemberg, ZMBH, University of Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 282, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany.
