Posting ID: 23.31-1550
in part time (65 %) starting from 1st of June 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The PhD project is part of the BMBF-funded cooperation ESTRANGE that will be performed in close collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences Aschaffenburg.
Exposure of the brain to ionizing radiation, e.g. during cancer therapy, is associated with severe adverse neurological effects. In ESTRANGE the molecular and intercellular mechanisms of radiation-induced neuropsychological and neurocognitive disorders will be studied using an in vitro brain assembloid model that mimics interactions between various brain regions. Analysis of radiation-induced changes in neuronal networks and alterations in the functional connectivity of brain regions will be the focus of the PhD project.
