The Interdisciplinary Laboratory (Head Prof. Jindrich Cinatl) focuses on tumour and virus research on a cell culture basis, especially on the development of chemoresistance in tumours, overcoming chemoresistance and the preclinical development of new therapies. To this end, a unique collection of adapted therapy-resistant cells has been established over the last 30 years, the Resistant Cancer Cell Line (RCCL) Collection.
The aim of all projects is to improve diagnostics and therapy, as well as the new and further development of diagnostic procedures and therapy regimes, especially for children with cancer. To this end, a translational approach is used to collaborate closely with clinicians and representatives of other disciplines (e.g. Nature Medicine, 23(2),250-55, 2017; Cancers (Basel).Apr 26;12(5):1080,2020; Commun Biol. Jun 24;3(1):324, 2020).
We are looking for a scientific PhD student. Experience in cell culture and molecular biology methods is desired. A Master’s degree (or similar) is required. Personal qualities such as teamwork, commitment and reliability are desired. The position is initially limited until 31.12.2023 (payment E 13 according to TV-GU).
Please send your application with relevant documents (cover letter, certificates from studies or previous employment, details of diploma or master’s thesis, as well as 2 references with contact details), preferably by email, as 1 PDF document to: f.rothweiler@kinderkrebsstiftung-frankfurt.de
