The membrane trafficking group (AG Kaether) at the the Leibniz-Institut for Age Research – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena (Germany) invites applications for a PhD student position (TV-L E13/2) within the Leibniz Graduate School on Ageing and Age-Related Diseases (LGSA). Our group is working on intracellular transport of membrane proteins, with a focus on Alzheimer´s Disease. We work on axonal transport in primary neurons and on retention/retrieval mechanisms in the endoplasmic reticulum. The lab covers a variety of methods including microcopy (video-, immunofluorescence, confocal), molecular biology (cloning of GFP fusion-proteins, mutagenesis), biochemistry (protein-protein interactions) and cell culture techniques (primary neurons and cell lines). For this project we are looking for a highly motivated student who likes to work on a diseaserelevant study. Experience in one of the above mentioned techniques is desirable.
