CRC 1774 CARDDIAB (host institution: Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf; with participation of the University of Tübingen, LMU Munich and Helmholtz Munich, among others) investigates the reciprocal relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular disease. You will work on an independent sub-project in the field of pathophysiology/signal transduction, in close collaboration with partner laboratories in the CRC network, including cooperation opportunities with Helmholtz Munich and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.

Suitable candidates will have a Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences (preferred), ideally with a pharmacist license (Approbation) as an advantage; alternatively a Master's in Biochemistry, Biology or a related field. Applicants should be highly motivated, enjoy interdisciplinary collaboration and be able to integrate well into our international team. You can look forward to a challenging PhD project, for which the following profile qualifies you:

• Willingness to work with laboratory animals, as this is required for the experimental work – prior experience is not necessary but would be an advantage
• Strong interest in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and scientific research
• Excellent English language skills (at least level B2)

We offer excellent personal mentoring with regular one-on-one meetings, membership in an international and multilingual team, and access to a worldwide network of scientific collaborations – through CARDDIAB in particular with Helmholtz Munich and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.

Severely disabled applicants will be given preference in the case of equal qualification. Tübingen University is committed to equal opportunities and diversity and actively promotes gender equality. The University aims to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and therefore particularly encourages qualified women scientists to apply.

Please send your application with the usual documents (cover letter, CV, certificates, 3 recommendation letters ) by the 28th of August 2026 in electronic form (as a single PDF file) to Univ.-Prof. Dr. Miriam Cortese-Krott miriam.cortese-krottspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de , quoting the reference number Doktorand/CARDDIAB-SFB1774/Pharmakologie.
