We offer interns the opportunity to participate in ongoing research projects with their own sub-projects. The focus can be determined individually in consultation with the supervisor. This can relate to day-to-day laboratory work (e.g. in the context of sample preparation and processing using routine protocols), sample analysis using various state-of-the-art instruments as well as bioinformatic and biostatistical work in the evaluation and interpretation of the data obtained.

Tasks and duties entrusted to the student:

Skills to be acquired or developed:
Improvement of analytical understanding In-depth knowledge of extreme high-resolution mass spectrometry and data analysis of high-dimensional and complex data, experience with R and other biostatistical tools All work is carried out under the close supervision of the main supervisor and/or the respective project-related PhD students, so that the knowledge can be imparted directly and specifically. The aim is to ensure that the data obtained as part of the internship can be further utilised and used for the coresponding research projects. If you are interested, we offer the opportunity to write an unpaid Master's thesis in the respective subject area following the internship.
