The LIT - Leibniz Institute for Immunotherapy (foundation under civil law) (https://lit.eu) - is a biomedical research center focusing on translational immunology in the fields of cancer immunotherapy, transplant rejection and autoimmunity. The objective of the LIT is to develop innovative and efficient cellular immune therapeutics in these areas. Our own GMP laboratories and close networking with University and University Hospital offer excellent opportunities for clinical translation of novel immune cell products.
The Experimental Cell Therapy at the LIT is recruiting a
PhD position (m/f/d) - VE-2026-1
Starting November 1st, 2026. The position is initially limited to three years, with the possibility of extension.
About the project
The Vander Mause Lab, Experimental Cell Therapy, is seeking a PhD student (m/f/div) with a background in cell therapy or immunology. The candidate will use comprehensive multi-omics data to guide state-of-the-art methods in protein design and genetic engineering to develop and characterize the next generation of precision cell therapies for clinical translation.
The Experimental Cell Therapy lab is part of the Systems Rheumatology program area at the DRFZ in Berlin and is a joint research group with the Leibniz Institute for Immunotherapy (LIT) in Regensburg, Germany. This PhD position will be integrated into the doctoral environment at the DRFZ in Berlin, which has its own graduate program and access to partner programs. The program brings together like-minded PhD students from across Berlin and offers a variety of graduate training programs and events.
The German Rheumatology Research Center (DRFZ), an Institute of the Leibniz Association, was founded in 1988 and is unique in Germany in its focus on rheumatic diseases. Today, the DRFZ ranks among the world's leading institutes in the fields of immunology, experimental rheumatology and the epidemiology of rheumatic diseases. The unique interdisciplinary collaboration among experts in biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, chemistry, physics, medicine, sociology, and statistics is a key factor in this. The research focuses on the causes, progression, and management of rheumatic diseases.
