International Research Training Group (IRTG) PhD Positions in Molecular Biomedicine and Translational Oncology
Location: University of Cologne, GermanyApplication Deadline: March 31st, 2025 with extended application deadline
The International Research Training Group (IRTG) jointly conducted by the University of Cologne, Germany, and Sungkyunkwan University, Korea, is seeking highly motivated PhD candidates for a unique and exciting opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research in molecular biomedicine and translational oncology, with a special focus on lung cancer.
Program Overview:
The IRTG program, titled "Tumor Heterogeneity and Genomic Instability in Lung Cancer - From Basic Mechanisms to Clinical Implications," aims to address the critical challenges in lung cancer research by exploring mechanisms of resistance and genomic instability. Our program offers a collaborative research environment bridging expertise from two leading medical institutions.Key Research Areas:
- Genomic instability driven by p53 deficiency
- Metabolic shifts and stress-induced genomic instability
- Heterogeneity in KRAS-driven tumors
- In silico technologies for evolutionary trajectory reconstruction and AI-based tumor analysis
What We Offer:
- A structured PhD program with dual mentorship from leading scientists in Germany and Korea
- Opportunities for international collaboration and research exchange
- Access to state-of-the-art facilities and technologies
- Comprehensive training in both basic and translational research methodologies
