About this position
Technical University of Munich (TUM) is seeking up to two motivated PhD students for interdisciplinary experimental oncology projects at TUM University Hospital in Munich, Germany.
The research asks how cancer treatments can be made more effective while protecting healthy tissue, including the role of intestinal microbiota and whether innovative radiation therapy technologies can enhance cancer immunotherapy. Projects may involve experimental oncology, cancer immunology, microbiology, cancer biology, molecular biology, radiation biology and translational radiation oncology.
The positions offer joint supervision, close collaboration within TUM and beyond, access to state-of-the-art facilities at TranslaTUM, and an environment connecting basic research with clinical oncology. Research is supported by the German Research Foundation through Collaborative Research Centre 1371, “Microbiota Signatures,” and the Bavarian Center for Cancer Research.
Applicants should have a background in experimental oncology, immunology, microbiology, cancer biology, molecular biology, radiation biology or a related discipline. The positions are paid according to TV-L E13 at 65%, with an ideally planned start in January 2027.
