PhD position – Mucosal Immunology and microbiota research (m/f/o) AG Rollenske
PhD position – Mucosal Immunology and microbiota research (m/f/o)
Available immediately for three years with the possibility of extension.
PhD positions are available to study the intestinal antibody response to the microbiota. We will functionally study the antibody responses to the intestinal microbiota and the antibody function down to the single B cell antibody specificity level. Therefore, we will employ single B cell immunoglobulin gene sequencing, sequence-guided gene synthesis, monoclonal antibody production, antibody binding assays, germ-free, and gnotobiotic mouse models, in vivo bacterial transcriptomics, and single cell host transcriptomic analysis. Our aim is to obtain a detailed mechanistic understanding of the effects of intestinal Immunoglobulin A antibodies on the bacterial target cell and the host immune system.

50% PostDoc position (m/f/d) AG Lukacs-Kornek
The Institute of Molecular Medicine and Experimental Immunology is offering a
50% PostDoc position (m/f/d)
in the group of Prof. Dr. Lukacs-Kornek in the topic of tumor immunology.
Prof. Lukacs-Kornek and her team are focusing to determine the role and impact of stromal cells on immunregulation during priming in secondary lymphoid organs and within the tumor microenvironment. Stromal cell biology is an emerging field that investigates how these non-hematopoetic cells contribute to disease development.
The postdoctoral candidate will contribute in a research project that focuses on stroma-immune-tumor cell cross-talk in tumor environment. The applied techniques involve flow cytometry, working with cell culture and CODEX microscopy analyses. The candidate will learn various immunological assays to address the function of stromal cells and will use genomic analyses to address their function.
The University of Bonn is committed to diversity and equal opportunity. It is certified as a family-friendly university. It aims to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are under-represented and to promote their careers in particular. It therefore urges women with relevant qualifications to apply. Applications will be handled in accordance with the Landesgleichstellungsgesetz (State Equality Act). Applications from suitable individuals with a certified serious disability and those of equal status are particularly welcome.
Questions concerning the projects can be addressed to Prof. Dr. Lukacs-Kornek (email).
