PhD Position in Single-Cell Transcriptomics and Cardiovascular Systems Biology (f/m/x)
Emmy Noether Research Group
We are offering a PhD position (bioinformatics-focused) in our newly established DFG-funded Emmy Noether Group located at the Gene Center and the Department of Cardiology, LMU University Hospital. Our research combines single-cell RNA sequencing, computational biology, and translational cardiology to investigate cellular heterogeneity and gene regulatory mechanisms in cardiovascular disease.
PhD Position in Single-Cell Transcriptomics and Cardiovascular Systems Biology (f/m/x)
Your Project
You will analyze large-scale single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics datasets from human and murine cardiovascular tissues. The goal is to identify disease-relevant cell states, molecular networks, and therapeutic targets in conditions such as heart failure and vascular inflammation.
Your work will involve close collaboration with wet-lab scientists and clinician researchers and contribute to hypothesis-driven, translationally oriented projects.
Your Profile
- Master’s degree in biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics, data science, or a related discipline
- Interest in programming (e.g. R, Python, bash), single cell/NGS data analysis
- Interest in cardiovascular biology and translational research
- Ability to work independently and in an interdisciplinary team
- Good communication skills and proficiency in English
Our Offer
- Integration into a structured LMU Graduate School Program (including training in soft skills, networking, and international exchange)
- A highly collaborative and supportive research environment across systems biology, cardiology, and genomics
- Access to cutting-edge infrastructure for single-cell and spatial omics
- A vibrant academic setting and high quality of life in Munich
