Open positions
PhD position
We are offering a PhD position in the field of "Multimodal preclinical imaging of Aspergillus fumigatus invasion and treatment" (f/m/d) 65%. The position can be filled as soon as possible in part time (65 %) and is initially limited to one year with the possibility of further extension. In our previous efforts, embedded in an international research network, we have shown the potential of pathogen specific molecular imaging for diagnosis and therapy monitoring of Aspergillosis, from bench to bedside. In this DFG funded PhD project and in close collaboration with the team of Prof. Gunzer (University of Duisburg-Essen), we want to investigate how modifications of a radiotracer can significantly enhance its diagnosis and therapy monitoring performance using in vitro and in vivo assays, focusing on a multimodal PET/MRI/Fluorescence approach. We are looking for enthusiastic and highly motivated candidates, eager to answer highly relevant biomedical questions and evolve in a multidisciplinary environment notably using state of the art imaging techniques.

PhD position
We are offering a PhD position in “preclinical imaging of senescence during inflammation” (f/m/d) 65%. The position is initially limited to one year with the possibility of further extension. With this project, we aim at elucidating the role of senescent cells in sterile chronic inflammation, in particular during rheumatoid arthritis. By developing an innovative state of the art preclinical imaging approach based on combined PET/CT and PET/MR imaging of senescence, the successful candidate will shed a new light on inflammatory diseases. The candidate should ideally possess scientific expertise in inflammation, cellular biology, or biochemistry demonstrated by a relevant Master of Science in the field and a keen interest in preclinical imaging sciences. Hands on experience with preclinical PET, MRI or CT imaging is a plus but not a requirement.

PhD position
We are offering a PhD position in "in Molecular Immune Cell Imaging in Cancer" (f/m/d) 65%. The position can be filled as soon as possible and is initially limited for one year with the possibility of further extension. The project will investigate T cell-based immunotherapies in different tumor models using modern in vivo imaging techniques like PET and MRI combined with MR spectroscopy for cellular and metabolic molecular imaging. We will uncover immune cell migration patterns and their impact on the cellular components and metabolism of the tumor microenvironment and the lymphatic organs. Fundamental and novel immunological in vitro cell assays, immunohistochemistry, and in vitro immunophenotyping using multicolor flow cytometry complement the in vivo imaging studies. Our goal is to detect novel markers for molecular imaging of immunotherapies and to develop new treatment combinations.

PhD position
We are offering a PhD position in “Virus and Checkpoint inhibitor-based Cancer Immunotherapy and PET/MRI guided monitoring of in vivo immune responses” (f/m/d) 65%. The position is initially limited to one year with the possibility of further extension. With this project, we aim to elucidate the mechanisms of the immune cells that successfully eradicate tumor cells upon combined Immunotherapy approaches. By developing an innovative state of the art preclinical imaging approach based on combined PET/MR imaging of immune responses, the successful candidate will shed a new light on the tumor microenvironment.
