PhD position in Translational Immunology (m/f/d)

Mit Dienstzeiten, die zu
Deinem Leben passen!

The research group of Prof. Dr. Simone Mader, Head of the new Department of Translational Immunology is looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate (f/m/d) (TV-L E13 65%, initially limited to three years).

We aim to elucidate how the immune system contributes to inflammation in the central nervous system and other immunologically affected tissues, with a particular focus on the role of autoantibodies and autoreactive B cells. Using advanced and innovative analytical approaches, we investigate both autoimmunity to known target antigens and the identification of previously unrecognized autoantigens across different autoimmune diseases.

Building on these findings, this PhD project will explore candidate autoantigens and autoantibody-producing B cells, and understand possible triggers of autoimmunity.
