Doctoral Projects

T-Cell Immunology

Doctoral Researcher Project No: 13/2023

The department of Infection Immunology addresses fundamental questions about the mechanistic basis of the human immunological memory. They investigate T-cell communication with the local tissue microenvironment in settings of infections, autoimmunity and cancer. They are seeking highly motivated candidates that are interested to investigate the regulation of human tissue resident T-cells and their crosstalk with the microenvironment.

Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Christina Zielinski

Postdoctoral Projects

Microalgal-Bacterial Interactions

Microverse Postdoctoral Researcher Project No: 83/2023

Albeit microalgae are key contributors to global carbon fixation, their molecular interactions with other microbes are still little known. As our new Postdoc you will study microalgal-bacterial communities on microscopically tractable structured surfaces and introduce imbalance by providing biotic (e.g. helper bacteria) and abiotic factors (light and temperature).

Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Maria Mittag
