Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors (IfADo) in Dortmund is offering a PhD position in the Department of Toxicology within an interdisciplinary research environment that combines ergonomics, immunology, toxicology, psychology, and neuroscience. The project focuses on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its progression from steatosis to steatohepatitis and more severe liver disease. The research aims to clarify how bile macropinocytosi...

Two funded PhD positions are available in Kenneth Dumack’s group at the University of Koblenz, Germany, investigating an unusual photosynthetic rhizarian and its complex plastid. The projects aim to determine how the plastid was acquired and how this organelle is integrated into the eukaryotic cell. One PhD project centers on evolutionary genomics and bioinformatic physiology, offering a computational perspective on plastid evolution and cellular function. The second project focuses on cell biol...

Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School (HBIGS) at Heidelberg University is a doctoral programme in the biosciences, offering PhD training in a highly interdisciplinary research environment in Heidelberg.
