PhD Student Position Switzerland

February 25, 2008

A PhD student position is available immediately at the Institute of Physiology and Zurich Center for Integrative Human Physiology (ZIHP) of the University of Zurich. The successful candidate will be enrolled in the PhD program Integrative and Molecular Medicine of the Life Science Zurich Graduate School (http://www.lifescience-graduateschool.ch).

We explore the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive responses to reduced oxygen supply in mammals. This includes regulation of cellular oxygen sensing mechanisms and processes, such as tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing and metabolism, influenced by differential oxygen concentrations.
