About this position

PhD opportunity in organelle biology, proteomics, and cardiometabolic disease at Helmholtz Zentrum München (Institute for Diabetes and Obesity, Research Unit Cellular Proteomics and Metabolic Signaling, headed by Dr. Natalie Krahmer). The project is embedded in the DFG-funded CRC 1774 Cardio-Diabetes Crosstalk (CARDDIAB) and focuses on inter-organ communication, metabolic regulation, inflammation, cellular energy metabolism, and cardiovascular complications of diabetes.

You will work with biochemical and cell biological approaches, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, phosphoproteomics, lipidomics, and computational data analysis to study how organelle organization and metabolic signaling change during disease development. The role includes research in cellular and mouse models of metabolic disease and collaboration in a highly international, interdisciplinary environment.

Eligibility highlights: a diploma or master’s degree in biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related natural-science field; knowledge of standard molecular and biochemical methods; strong interest in proteomics, cell biology, metabolism, and bioinformatics; experience with mammalian cell lines and willingness to work with mice; excellent English; and fulfillment of doctoral enrollment requirements at the Technical University of Munich.

Funding: full-time position (39 hrs/week) paid under German public-sector rules at EG 13, 50% TV EntgO Bund, initially for three years with possible extension. The post also mentions a possible allowance if conditions are met.

Location: Neuherberg near Munich / Stein bei Nürnberg, Germany. Deadline: 30 Nov 2026. Apply through the online application tool only, and include CV, cover letter, certificates, references, referee contacts, and publication list.
