Ph.D Opportunity - Neuroimmunology/Cancer Immunology 100%
The Dixon Lab at University of Basel is seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. student to study neuro-immune interactions in cancer. The role of intra-tumoral neurons is complex and still not fully understood. While some studies suggest they play a critical role in tumor progression and metastasis, others report that they may contribute to anti-tumor immunity. Our lab is dedicated to understanding the innervation landscape of peripheral tumors and its role in immuno-oncology.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have previously worked on cellular and molecular networks underlying tissue health and disease. Our goal is to conduct impactful interdisciplinary research interfacing tumor biology, immunology, and neuroscience to investigate the role of neurons in regulating tumor immunity.
- Background in neuroscience, immunology, oncology, or a related field
- Strong motivation to conduct independent experiments, including planning, analysis and interpretation.
- Experience in neurobiology, cellular or molecular biology.
- Experience with flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy analysis.
- Strong analytical skills and ability to work independently.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills.
- Commitment to teamwork and collaboration.
Applications can be submitted directly to Prof. Dr. Karen Dixon (Write an email) and should include a curriculum vitae, motivation letter, university transcripts, abstract of MSc thesis and contact details for 2 individuals who can provide recommendation letters upon request.
