Scope of duties

  • Work on the Collaborative Research Centre project (SFB) “Thromboinflammatory mechanisms of pancreatitis progression and associated splanchnic and portal vein thrombosis”
  • Investigate cellular and molecular mechanisms that link pancreatic inflammation, coagulation and thrombotic complications
  • Study the role of platelet–neutrophil interactions and sphingolipid metabolism in acute and acute-on-chronic pancreatitis
  • Plan and perform experimental studies using cellular systems, patient-derived biosamples and established preclinical models of pancreatitis
  • Apply modern molecular, biochemical and cell biological methods, including cell culture, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy, RNA and protein analysis and functional cellular assays
  • Contribute to the characterization of inflammatory, thrombotic and metabolic pathways using proteomic, lipidomic or transcriptomic approaches
  • Participate in the development and validation of targeted therapeutic strategies, including nanoparticle- and aptamer-based delivery approaches
  • Quantitatively analyze, interpret and document experimental and clinical research data
  • Collaborate closely with scientists, clinicians and technology platforms within the interdisciplinary Collaborative Research Centre
  • Present research findings at internal meetings and national and international scientific conferences and contribute to scientific publications

  • Strong interest in translational research, inflammation, pancreatitis, vascular biology or immunology
  • Practical experience in molecular and cell biology, for example mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, microscopy, immunoblotting, quantitative PCR or functional cellular assays
  • Previous experience with primary cells, patient samples, animal models, proteomics, lipidomics, nanoparticles or drug-delivery systems is an advantage, but not mandatory
  • Motivation to learn new experimental technologies and quantitative analysis methods
  • A careful, structured and reliable approach to experimental work
  • Scientific curiosity, high motivation and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team

  • State-of-the-art laboratories and access to advanced flow cytometry, microscopy, proteomics, lipidomics and data-analysis platforms
  • Close collaboration with basic scientists, clinician scientists, bioinformaticians and experts in vascular and inflammatory biology
  • Integration into a highly collaborative national research network with opportunities for scientific exchange across several disciplines
  • Structured scientific supervision and support for professional and personal development
  • Opportunities to participate in scientific workshops, training programmes and national and international conferences
  • A supportive and inspiring working environment that encourages scientific independence and the development of new ideas
  • Employment according to the German public-sector collective agreement, including annual leave and additional benefits in accordance with the applicable regulations
