Project Overview

The Department of Ophthalmology at the Universität Bern is a leading center for cutting-edge diagnostics, therapy, and microsurgery of eye diseases and ophthalmologic emergencies.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research group Retinal Remodeling, led by Prof. Dr. Volker Enzmann, to investigate the employment of Müller cells as potential candidates for replacing degenerated photoreceptors.

Our project aims to analyze pathways in animal models with retinal degeneration, investigate cell type-associated differential gene expression, and develop pharmacological treatments or gene editing strategies.

The experimental spectrum of the PhD project will include classic methods in molecular and cell biology, as well as in vivo experiments using mice and zebrafish.

About the Position

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a master's degree in biology, biomedical sciences, or related fields, preferably with background knowledge in neurobiology and/or cell biology.

Expertise in working with small animal models and bioinformatics would be advantageous.

We offer a dynamic team environment, advanced training opportunities, and membership in the Graduate School for Cellular and Biomedical Sciences (GCB).

Salary and Benefits

The estimated annual salary for this position is CHF 60,000 - 80,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
