PhD position «Centriole Biogenesis» (f­­/­­m­­/­­d)

The successful candidate will join Prof. Elmar Schiebel's research group, renowned for its groundbreaking work on centrioles and centrosome function. This PhD project will investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying centriole biogenesis, with a focus on understanding how centrioles duplicate and organize microtubules. The research will combine advanced microscopy techniques, biochemistry, and genetic tools to unravel the complexities of centriole assembly and function. - Conduct cutting-edge research on centriole biogenesis and its regulation - Utilize advanced microscopy and imaging techniques to analyze centriole structure and dynamics - Perform biochemical assays including insect cell expression and genetic experiments to investigate centriole-associated proteins - Collaborate with a team of researchers and present findings at conferences and in scientific publications
