PhD Student Molecular Cell Biology (m/f/d)

Our lab at the University of Heidelberg is seeking two highly motivated PhD candidates to address cutting-edge questions in organelle biology:

• PhD1: Investigate novel perilipin 3 interactions and their contribution to subcellular lipid droplet heterogeneity.
• PhD2: Elucidate the molecular mechanism of perilipin 3-mediated transcriptional regulation, and its connection to lipidomic flux and post-translational modifications.

Both projects employ state-of-the-art techniques, including proximity ligation assays, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, metabolic labeling and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
