About the AG Glomb

The Institute of Clinical Anatomy and Cell Analysis, Tübingen University, AG Glomb, invites applications for a PhD position. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate with an interest in neuronal cell biology. Our lab is interested in understanding the mechanisms that underly slow axonal transport. This transport mechanism conveys hundreds of cytoplasmic proteins from the cell body into the periphery of the neurite. We recently developed a fluorescent based labeling strategy to visualize and molecularly dissect this transport mechanism in single neurons of the invertebrate C.elegans. This project will focus on further dissecting the composition of transport packages of this pathway and ask for the regulatory mechanisms underlying it. We utilize in vivo microscopy in C.elegans, which we combine with super-resolution microscopy, genetic screens, genome editing, molecular biology, and biochemical assays. You do not require any experience with the work on C.elegans/Nematodes.
