MULTIPLE POSTDOC POSITIONS

We are looking for postdocs interested in exciting clinically-oriented projects aimed at the generation and application of novel AAV vectors for gene therapy of different human diseases. A particular focus is on the use and optimization of the latest technologies for high-throughput in vivo selection including DNA/RNA barcoding, next-generation sequencing, single-cell RNA-Seq and machine learning

We have several open positions that are well funded (salary & consumables) and that are available immediately. If you are interested, please contact me via mail or phone for further details. In your application, please provide a letter of motivation, your CV, your publication record and ideally at least 2 references (letters or contact info).

MULTIPLE PhD POSITIONS

We are looking for PhD students interested in innovative projects aimed at the engineering of novel AAV vectors for gene therapy and their use for dissection of infectious diseases. In particular, we will engineer synthetic AAV capsids and genomes that express therapeutic genes in selected cell types within complex organs and in living organisms. Moreover, by combining the power of AAV vectors with click labeling and genetic repurposing technology, we will create unprecedented tools that allow to dissect the biology of pathogenic viruses - such as hepatitis B virus and HIV - directly in living human cells.

To this end, the PhD students will greatly benefit from the large and diverse portfolio of powerful high-throughput technologies and proprietary reagents that are already established in the lab (see also above under Postdoc positions).

We have several open positions that are well funded (salary & consumables) and that are available immediately. If you are interested, please contact me via mail or phone for further details. In your application, please provide a letter of motivation, your CV and ideally 1-2 references (letters or contact info).

OTHER STUDENTS (rotation, BSc, MSc, MD)

We strongly encourage applications from individuals of any gender, ethnicity, age or level who are interested in gene and cell therapy as well as bioinformatics including state-of-the-art CRISPR, RNAi, viral vector, or stem cell technologies as well as machine learning, and who wish to pursue a lab rotation, a BSc, MSc, or MD thesis.

If you:

  • exhibit a genuine interest in, profound motivation for, and strong dedication to science and research
  • are a good team player and like to take on responsibilities, including teaching of new lab members and students

... then please contact me via mail (or phone for initial inquiries) and provide a letter of motivation, your CV and ideally (but not mandatory) 1-2 references .
