Start Date August 2011
Department of Hematology, Hemostasis, Oncology and
Stem Cell Transplantation
Laboratory of Lymphatic Cell Therapy - Rebirth Excellence Cluster
Prof. Dr. Renata Stripecke (www.stripecke-mhh.de)
The Hannover Medical School (www.mh-hannover.de) is a site of excellence for
biomedical research in Germany. During the next years, our major focus is translational
development of novel therapies from the bench to the bedside. The Laboratory of
Lymphatic Cell Therapy (www.stripecke-mhh.de) is focused on immune-regenerative
approaches using genetically programmed dendritic cells tailored for cancer and viral
infections. The open position is funded by the Deutsche Krebshilfe and has as mission
the GMP production and Q/C analyses of lentivirus transduced dendritic cells, clinical trial
development and immune monitoring. This full-time position is initially for one year
(desirable start August 2011) with possibility of renewals. Salary ranking is
commensurate with qualifications (E13 – E14).
Specific requirements: PhD or MD/PhD title obtained within last 3-5 years and strong
publication record. Candidates should have demonstrated solid previous experience with:
ex vivo culture and characterization of human dendritic cells and T cells, immunologic
assays (Tetramer analyses, CTL/ Th cytokine profile characterization, ELISPOT), multicolor
analytical flow cytometry, RT-Q-PCR and development of standard operating procedures
for GMP. Experimental work is performed in a S2 biosafety level laboratory and requires
previous experience with molecular biology techniques and lentiviral vector production.
Excellent organizational skills, initiative, responsibility, team-work, fluency (verbal and
written) in English and German, strong computer skills for data analyses and presentation.
Experience in supervision of students and technicians.
