The Veterinary University of Vienna is offering a PhD position to investigate intercellular crosstalk during the development of intestinal tumors, specifically focusing on epithelial-fibroblast interactions. The project will use advanced techniques like organoids, single-cell RNA sequencing, ATAC-sequencing, CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering, and high-resolution imaging to explore changes in tumor-adjacent fibroblasts. Candidates should have a background in molecular or cell biology, solid laboratory skills, and extensive experience in cell culture techniques. Good proficiency in English (B2 level) is required. Applications should be submitted by email with reference number 2024/0241.
