About this position

Medical sciences. Researcher profile: First Stage Researcher (R1). Area of research: PHD Thesis Job description: PhD Candidate (f/m/x) – RNA Quality Control Lab 102999 Full time 39 hrs./week Neuherberg near Munich At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives. **The Helmholtz Pioneer Campus (HPC) founded and funded by Helmholtz Munich stands for the intelligent fusion of biomedical sciences, engineering and digitization. At HPC, top scientific talents from across the globe work together on the development of novel solutions that make a difference in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.** The RNA Quality Control lab studies what happens when RNA polymerase II fails to reach the end of a gene, and how the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) released by that failure drives disease. We work with a set of methods, we are expert in covering nascent transcriptomics, degron-based protein depletion, iPSC-derived neural models and we will train you in them. In return, we anticipate that you deploy them well and understand what each experiment tests, and think critically about the results. Your input will help shape our future research direction. Your tasks Investigate how transcription elongation and termination failure generates immunoge
