Doctoral Position in In Vivo Cancer Therapeutics (m/w/d)

Scope of duties
We are recruiting a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher with a veterinary medicine or biology background for a fully funded basic/ translational cancer research position at LMU University Hospital Munich. The position focuses on in vivo tumor models to develop multimodal therapies combining thermosensitive liposomal drug delivery, regional hyperthermia, and immunotherapy/targeted approaches (CAR-T cells, small molecules). The goal is to improve intratumoral drug delivery and overcome resistance in “immunologically cold” tumors (Sarcoma, Pancreatic Cancer). The project is embedded in a highly motivated environment with direct links to clinical trials and biotech collaborations. We are looking for candidates with experience in animal models and a strong interest in oncology and immunology.
Your role:
· Design and conduct in vivo tumor studies
· Establish and manage tumor models
· Apply therapies and regional hyperthermia
· Analyze tumor biology and immune responses with standing cooperation partners
Our requirements
· Veterinary medicine or biology background
· Experience with cell culture and animal models preferred
· Strong interest in basic and translational cancer research
· Independent working style, fluent in english
Our offer
· You will work in a highly motivated research environment with clinical relevance.
· The position offers a unique platform combining nanomedicine and hyperthermia.
· There is close collaboration with academic and biotech partners.
· In addition, excellent career development opportunities are available at one of the world’s leading university hospitals.
· Remuneration is based on the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector of the Länder (TV-L) including all allowances customary in the public sector.
