Open positions
The Institute of Clinical Neuroimmunology always welcomes spontaneous applications from motivated students at the Bachelor, Master, PhD, MD or post-doc level.
The Peters lab is looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Master’s thesis student.
During your time in the lab, you will investigate the role of the cytokine IL-23 in the development of EAE, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. You will work with different conditional knock-out mouse lines and investigate the role of IL-23 derived from different immune cell types in vivo. You will isolate immune cells from different organs including the central nervous system and characterize these immune cells by multi-parameter flow cytometry. Thus, experience with flow cytometry as well as a FELASA B certificate for the work with laboratory animals are advantageous but not mandatory.
The starting date for this project is flexible anytime between fall and winter 2025. If you are interested, please send your CV and a letter of motivation to Dr. Anneli Peters (Anneli.Peters@med.uni-muenchen.de). The Peters lab is looking forward to your application.
Master’s thesis student with interest in image analysis
At the Kerschensteiner Lab we study how axons degenerate in mouse models of multiple sclerosis. Most of our data comes from intravital 2-photon-imaging of the spinal cord. Here we offer a master’s thesis project to automate the analysis of 2-photon-microscopy images of mouse spinal cord axons. The aim is to develop a AI-based image analysis pipeline that would allow automatic staging of axon damage in 2-photon imaging stacks.
We are looking for highly motivated, enthusiastic and hard-working applicants with previous experience in using data science approaches for image analysis. Applicants should be fluent in English. The starting date for this project is flexible but we aim for spring/summer of 2023. If you are interested, please send a letter of motivation and your CV to:
