University of Koln PhD student in cellular biochemistry 2025

The Riemer lab (https://riemerlab.uni-koeln.de/) is part of the Institute for Biochemistry at the University of Cologne. We are interested in mitochondrial redox biology and biogenesis and their links to cellular metabolism, and employ a wide toolbox of biochemical and cell biological methods including state-of-the-art proteomics, biochemical reconstitution experiments, and genetically encoded redox sensors.

Your Tasks:

• The doctoral candidate will perform a project with the goal to understand how redox signals help mitochondria to communicate with the remainder of the cell, and how they affect mitochondrial outer membrane proteostasis.
• The doctoral candidate will employ a wide variety of biochemical and cell biological experiments including unbiased -omics experiments and approaches with genetically encoded fluorescent proteins to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying different aspects of redox signalling from and within mammalian mitochondria.
