DAAD scholarships for international PhD students (m/f/d)

Prof. Dr. Felix Hausch, Structure-based drug research:
The project, titled Functional and structural characterization of FKBP-Hsp90-steroid hormone receptor complexes by large-scale, site-specific, in-cell photo-crosslinking aims to uncover key states and interaction partners of FKBP51, a significant target for conditions such as depression, obesity-induced diabetes, and pain.
The position is tailored for PhD candidates with an interest in biochemistry, molecular and chemical biology, especially those eager to apply their knowledge to drug discovery. Ideal candidates will hold a Master’s degree in life sciences or (bio)chemistry, with a strong background in molecular biology and protein biochemistry techniques.
Participants in this project will receive training in advanced molecular biology methods and benefit from dedicated mentorship within an interdisciplinary and international research group. The project is planned for a duration of 3+ years, with compensation aligned to E13/65%.
For further background, candidates are encouraged to review Baischew, Engel et al. or visit the group’s webpage.
