PhD in Cell Biology of Potassium Channels,Marburg University,Germany

Our group at Marburg University is doing basic research in cell physiology and is investigating the structure and function of ion channels associated with diseases. In particular we are studying the mechanisms underlying the intracellular transport of potassium channels. We are using many molecular biological, biochemical and cell biological techniques including live-cell imaging, patch-clamp and yeast-two hybrid analysis. For further information visit our website www.uni-marburg.de/fb20/physiologie/ags/daut.
We have two positions for PhD students available, prospective students with a Master's degree or a Diploma in one of the Biological sciences are invited to apply. Experience in one of the techniques mentioned would be useful. He/she will be joining a lively research group with a variety of backgrounds and will be able to learn a wide array of techniques and to participate in interesting research projects (SFB 593; FOR 1086). The initial contract will be for three years; the net salary will be about € 1400 after deduction of taxes, insurances etc.
Applications should be sent to Prof. J. Daut, Institut für Physiologie, Marburg University Marburg. e-mail: jdaut@staff.uni-marburg.de
