Laboratory Animal Science_
**PhD student**
**60 % (full-time doctorate) **:Research advances our society. Full by curiosity and the feeling of responsibility for others, it enables to broaden our horizons and discover solutions to long lasting problems. A vital part of these developments spur from our understanding of biology. This largely comes from research on living organisms, including clinical studies as much as research with laboratory animals.

We at the Institute of Laboratory Animal Sciences (LTK) are dedicated to performing highest-level research and teaching in translational and basic research. Our mission is to improve research and education for the benefit of animals and humans.

While it has been uncovered that some South American farms do not adhere to any mínimal animal protection standards, like excessive blood draw until anemia, forced tying and restraining of the semi-wild animals, no veterinary care and forced abortion, even European production locations were judged to be non-compatible with European law. Calls to ban the import of PMSG have been raised and discussed at EU level. Animal-free alternatives for PMSG in farming have been explored but until now no viable and financially acceptable alternate protocol has taken hold in the market.

Thus, to end the practice of using pregnant mares for production of the hormone PMSG an alternative product, produced in-vitro, is urgently needed. Because we have been using

PMSG in our transgenic technologies laboratory we started a program to produce an animal-free alternative of eCG in-vitro to perform future experiments without using the natural hormone isolated from blood.

**Your profile**: Academic profile: Applicants with a master degree in biology, biotechnology, molecular medicine, or a similar field are encouraged to apply.

The two most important requirements are knowledge in protein purification and cell culture. Skills like experience in techniques like fluoresecent Microscopy, FACS and animal handling are a positive add on. In addition, we expect excellent written and spoken English skills.

**What we offer**: We offer a purposeful work with the goal of improving animal welfare based on the implementation of 3R - reduction, replacement, and refinement of animal experiments.

One-to-one supervision by a junior group leader at the Institute of Laboratory Animal Science. Being part of campus schlieren where a big and growing start-up culture is centered.
