Upcoming: Two PhD Studentships in Endothelial Cell Reprogramming at the University of Tübingen
University of Tübingen
Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott has announced two forthcoming Ph.D. studentships in her new Pharmacology, Pharmacotherapy and Clinical Pharmacy lab at the University of Tübingen. Research will focus on endothelial-cell reprogramming and its role in the tissue niche; expressions of interest are welcome while the official vacancies are prepared.
Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott is building a new laboratory in Pharmacology, Pharmacotherapy and Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Tübingen and has announced that two Ph.D. studentships will open.
The group's research focuses on endothelial-cell reprogramming and its role in the tissue niche. The wider research programme connects endothelial heterogeneity and plasticity with cardiovascular, metabolic and tumour biology, including the signalling and metabolic mechanisms that influence vascular function in health and disease.
The announcement invites motivated scientists interested in joining an inclusive and supportive research environment. It also states that one technical-assistant position and one postdoctoral position will be advertised separately.
Current application status: this is an early scholarship alert and expression-of-interest opportunity. Professor Cortese-Krott stated that the official job notices were still being prepared and would be published over the coming weeks. As of August 11, 2026, the two Ph.D. vacancies were not yet visible on the University of Tübingen's official jobs board.
Prospective candidates may introduce themselves by email at miriam.cortese-krott@uni-tuebingen.de. Applicants should return to the official vacancy notice when it appears because it will control the deadline, employment percentage, salary, start date, eligibility criteria and required documents.
