Junior Group Leader – RNA Biochemistry / Ribonucleases / RNA Stability
The Faculty of Biology and Preclinical Medicine calls for applications for a Junior Group Leader position in the field of RNA biochemistry/ribonucleases/RNA stability. The position is initially for up to 5 years. The candidate holds a Master, Diploma or similar degree and a PhD in molecular biology/biochemistry or related disciplines. The PhD degree should have been obtained no more than 4 years ago. RNA biology is one of the strategic research directions of the Faculty of Biology and Preclinical Medicine. This position will be integrated into a vibrant RNA research community (yhttps://go.ur.de/rna-biologhttps://go.ur.de/rna-biology) at the University of Regensburg with state-of-the-art infrastructure and many opportunities for scientific interaction. High-end technologies like mass spectrometry, cryoEM, NMR, analytical methods or confocal microscopy are readily available through the Regensburg Centre for Biochemistry (RCB) and the Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy (RUN). To complement our research portfolio and future research initiatives, we are seeking experts with projects with a scientific link to ribonucleases/RNA stability. The position includes funding for staff, an attractive start-up package, consumables and the access to an excellent infrastructure. Grant applications and further co-funding from third parties-are expected. PhD students will be integrated into the Regensburg International Graduate School of Life Science (RIGeL). The group will be part of the Regensburg Centre for Biochemistry (RCB). In addition, the University campus hosts day care centres, an international kindergarten and a flexible family service.

Postdoctoral researcher – Translational cancer immunology / CAR T-cell therapy
At the Chair of Experimental Medicine and Therapy, we investigate the mechanisms of systemic tumor spread and metastasis ( www.experimentelle-medizin.de ). A project funded by the German Cancer Aid (DKH) has been secured for Dr. Melanie Werner-Klein’s laboratory. Building on a recent publication in Nature Cancer (doi: 10.1038/s43018-025-00963-w), the project focuses on the prevention of metastatic disease – one of the central unsolved problems in oncology. Metastases cause the majority of cancer-related deaths. To date, effective adjuvant strategies for the targeted elimination of disseminated tumor cells are lacking. The position enables independent collaboration on the project for the development of adjuvant CAR-T cell therapies against metastasis-causing cells in melanoma, with a focus on preclinical in vivo models to investigate mechanistic and translational questions with high clinical relevance. We offer: A fully funded postdoctoral position with a duration of three years A dynamic and supportive scientific environment Access to excellent research infrastructure, modern animal facilities and innovative technologies Close scientific supervision, excellent conditions for high-ranking publications, and targeted support for further scientific qualification and academic independence. Your tasks: Independent conception, implementation and scientific management of a postdoctoral research project at the interface of tumor immunology, metastasis biology and CAR-T cell therapy Establishment, optimization and application of preclinical in vivo tumor models Analysis, evaluation and interpretation of complex experimental datasets and their classification in a translational and clinical context Publication of research results in high-ranking international journals Your profile: Completed PhD in tumor immunology, cancer biology, molecular medicine or a closely related field Strong scientific interest in cancer immunotherapy and metastasis biology Proven practical experience with preclinical in vivo cancer models (mandatory) Experience in T-cell biology and/or CAR-T cell development and therapy is an advantage. Independent, structured work style and high self-motivation Excellent written and spoken English skills; knowledge of German is desirable. The University of Regensburg aims to increase the proportion of women on its staff and therefore explicitly encourages qualified women to apply. The University of Regensburg is particularly committed to supporting work-life balance (further information can be found at https://www.uni-regensburg.de/universitaet/jobs-und-karriere/familien-service ).
