Heidelberg University PhD student in cancer proteomics 2025

We are looking for motivated researcher with experience in mass spectrometry-based proteomics to join a project aimed at understanding  cellular plasticity, therapy response, and drug resistance in myeloid leukemia. The successful candidate will perform proteomic experiments to investigate cellular plasticity using primary cells, cell lines, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. To this end, the candidate will have direct access to cutting-edge mass spectrometry and advanced bioinformatics infrastructure. The project is part of the collaborative research center “Cellular Plasticity in Malignant Myeloid Diseases – From Mechanisms to Therapy” and is a close collaboration with the Department of Hematology and other partners in the consortium.
