The Kapellos lab in the Institute of Lung Health and Immunity (LHI) at Helmholtz Center Munich is looking for a motivated master’s student for an internship with the option of a following Master’s thesis.

Background

Obstructive airway diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis and asthma, represent persistent global health challenges characterized by chronic inflammation, progressive tissue remodeling and immune dysregulation. These conditions are driven by diverse environmental triggers and alter the respiratory immune landscape through sustained cellular activation and structural changes. Research into how immune cells orchestrate, modulate, and at times, disturb airway homeostasis is essential for uncovering new therapeutic strategies. Our laboratory investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms dictating immune regulation in human airways, utilizing patient-derived samples to unravel the interactions between distinct immune cell populations and the lung microenvironment across health and disease.

Project Description

This Master’s thesis project will explore immune cell phenotypes and functions in obstructive airway diseases using clinical samples from patients and control donors. Through integration of cellular and functional data, this project aims to identify immune signatures and regulatory checkpoints relevant to disease pathogenesis.

Key objectives will include

• Processing human peripheral blood, bronchoalveolar lavage and/or fresh lung tissue specimens to isolate immune cell populations.

• Performing and analyzing multi-color flow cytometry to profile immune cell subsets.

• Applying precision-cut lung slice (PCLS) models to test the effects of biologic treatments ex vivo.

Techniques You Will Learn

• Clinical sample processing for human immune and lung cells

• Handling and culturing primary human cells

• Design, execution, and analysis of multi-color flow cytometry experiments

• Preparation, maintenance and treatment of precision-cut lung slices

• Application and evaluation of biologic therapeutics in ex vivo models

• Data analysis, statistics, and presentationRequirements

• Currently enrolled as a Master student in immunology, biomedical sciences or related field

• Fluent in English (spoken and written)

• Enthusiasm to work in an interdisciplinary group consisting of basic scientists,

clinicians and bioinformaticians

• Highly organized, good time management skills and ability to manage multiple priorities

• Proactive and forward-thinking approach

• Dedication and full commitment to the research objectives

Will be considered a plus

• Prior experience in cell culture and flow cytometry is advantageous

• Previous experience in programming (R/Python)

Start Date: January 2026

AG Prof. Robles at Biomedical Center

Our group studies circadian- and sleep-dependent molecular processes using massspectrometry-based quantitative proteomics. We employ a wide range of molecular and biochemical approaches focusing on RNA, DNA, proteins and posttranslational modifications as well as cell culture methods and tissue handling. In addition, our group works with different data analysis software and bioinformatic platforms.

We are looking for highly motivated master students with skills in biochemistry, cellularbiology and/or bioinformatics who are interested in circadian biology and proteomics. The student will work in one of our current research projects, for example:

- Characterization of novel interactors of the core clock protein machinery on chromatin.

- Circadian regulation of mast cell function and allergic reactions.

- Circadian function and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

We offer direct supervision by a senior PhD student or postdoc, as well as training in experimental planning, biochemical, molecular and quantitative proteomics methods within an international group of researchers.

If you are interested, please send a cover letter, CV and, if available, references to crobles@med.lmu.de.

Evolutionary Animal Ecology, University of Bayreuth (Germany) offers a PhD-postion on Parental Care and Microbial Control in Burying Beetles

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate (f/m/d) to investigate how parental care enables Nicrophorus burying beetles to control beneficial and harmful microbial communities during family life. This three-year position is part of an ERC-funded project exploring the socioecology of animal-microbe interactions, focusing on how interactions between animals and microbes shape - and are shaped by - animal social behaviors.

The Challenge. Animals continuously interact with a vast array of harmful and beneficial microbes, and natural selection has shaped sophisticated strategies enabling them to manipulate these interactions. However, we still know little about the role of animal social behaviors in exerting such host control. Burying beetles are ideally suited to tackle this issue, because they show complex social behaviors (parental care) and intimately interact with both beneficial symbionts and harmful environmental microbes during their social (family) life. In this project, we will examine how different parental care strategies (i) enable beetles to mitigate the threat posed by harmful microbes, (ii) affect the transmission of beneficial symbionts to offspring, and (iii) vary across beetle species in their fitness effects and role in host control. The interdisciplinary project will involve an exciting combination of behavioral observations, laboratory and field experiments, as well as the profiling of microbial communities via metabarcoding.

Your Profile. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with:

• A Master's degree (or equivalent) in evolutionary ecology, microbiome science, or a related field.
• A strong interest in social evolution and animal-microbe interactions.
• Prior experience with behavioral experiments and community profiling (desired but not required).
• Proficiency in biostatistics (R) or a high motivation to acquire and improve bioinformatic skills.
• The ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team.
• Good written and spoken English skills.

What We Offer.

• A fully funded 3-year PhD position within an ERC-funded project. Remuneration is based on the German TV-L E13 pay scale [65%] (gross salary: 3009? per month) and includes social benefits such as health insurance and pension contributions (link).
• A cutting-edge interdisciplinary research ecosystem at the University of Bayreuth, which has recently been ranked in the top 5 percent of young universities worldwide (link).
• A vibrant and supportive research environment in a newly established team, hosted at a department with extensive experience in insect rearing, behavioral experiments, and molecular analyses (link).
• Access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment for behavioral and microbiome research.
• Funding for conference participation and professional training as well as opportunities for national and international collaboration.
• Living in Bayreuth, a small but bustling university town with a rich history nestled in scenic Upper Franconia, featuring numerous opportunities for outdoor activities and cultural exploration (link).

How to Apply. Applications should include:

• A cover letter (1-2 pages) describing your research interests, motivation, and relevant work experience.
• A detailed CV, including your methodological skillset, B.Sc. and M.Sc. grades, and publications (if any).
• A summary of the Master thesis (max. 500 words).
• Names and email addresses of 2-3 academic scholars who agreed to serve as a reference.

Apply by May 16, 2025, by sending your application as a single PDF to Jos.Kramer@uni-bayreuth.de with the subject: "PhD Application - Parental Care vs. Microbes". The ideal starting date is September 2025.The University of Bayreuth is committed to promoting diversity and equal opportunities. We encourage applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of background. The working language in our group is English.
