Postdoctoral Research Scientist (m/f) and a Ph.D. Student (m/f)

Reference number 12/2018

in the Department of Pharmacology (Prof. Dr. Stefan Offermanns) to do research in the field of vascular biology / mechanosignalling.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The positions are available to study mechanisms of cellular mechanosensing and mechanosignalling in the vascular system. This includes the analysis of molecular and cellular endothelial processes underlying flow-dependent vascular tone regulation and of disturbed flow-induced vascular inflammation as well as characterization of mechanosignalling processes involved in tumor cell metastasis. For recent references: Wang et al., J. Clin. Invest. 125:3077-3086 (2015); Strilic et al., Nature. 536:215-218 (2016); Wang et al., J. Clin.
