Bern, Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Vollzeit
Research Scientist in Retinal Degeneration

The Department of Ophthalmology at the Universität Bern is a leading center for state-of-the-art diagnostics, therapy, and microsurgery of eye diseases and ophthalmologic emergencies. Our research group focuses on the employment of Müller cells as potential candidates for replacing degenerated photoreceptors.

Project Overview

The project aims to investigate the active modulation of Müller cell transition as a pivotal process during degeneration/regeneration and the treatment of chronic gliosis in mice. We will also establish a human retinal organoid degeneration model to study the role of Müller cell response.

Responsibilities
  • Pathway analysis in animal models with retinal degeneration
  • Investigating cell type-associated differential gene expression
  • Pharmacological treatment and/or gene editing in regard to the identified pathways
Requirements

Applicants should hold 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

The interesting and challenging project will be performed in a dynamic team and a creative research environment with a broad spectrum of methodology and further advanced training opportunities. The applicant will join the Graduate School for Cellular and Biomedical Sciences to complement her/his training.

Application and Contact

For subject-specific questions and information about the position, please contact Prof. Dr. Volker Enzmann at the Universität Bern.
