PhD Fellow in Spatial Proteomics of Cardiac Conduction and Disease Mechanisms

This PhD Fellow position in Spatial Proteomics of Cardiac Conduction and Disease Mechanisms requires advanced knowledge and research skills in proteomics, particularly spatial proteomics techniques that enable the localization and quantification of proteins within cardiac tissues. Candidates should be proficient in mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflows, sample preparation methods specific to cardiac conduction system tissues, and data analysis using bioinformatics tools tailored for proteomic datasets. A strong background in cardiovascular biology, especially cardiac electrophysiology and disease mechanisms, is essential to contextualize proteomic findings within cardiac conduction pathways and related pathologies. The role demands expertise in experimental design, quantitative proteomics, and integration of multi-omics data to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac function and disease. Candidates are expected to have a solid foundation in molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology techniques, along with the ability to work with complex biological samples and interpret high-dimensional data. Familiarity with computational tools for spatial data visualization and statistical analysis will be advantageous. The position is research-intensive, requiring critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate scientific findings effectively. Although specific experience and education levels are not detailed, the PhD fellowship implies a requirement for a master's degree or equivalent in a relevant field such as biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, or biomedical sciences, with a strong interest in cardiovascular research and proteomics.
