Role of carbohydrates on fish eggs as well as sperms

The Institute of Reproductive Biology at the FBN invites applications for a

PhD position (male/female)

The PhD position is available for a three year fixed-term starting as soon as possible.

The salary will be remunerated with TV-L E13 (50%).

Reference number: 2016-27

Task Description:

As covalently attached modifications of lipids and proteins glycans are involved in several biological processes. The planned project aims to investigate the role of carbohydrates on fish eggs as well as sperms. Particular focuses will be placed on the protection against pathogens as well as on egg fertilization. The study will be performed in close collaboration with the group of Tom Goldammer (Fish Genetics Unit of the FBN). Furthermore, the development of novel highly sensitive HPLC- and MS-based strategies for in-depth characterization of glycans will be part of the project.
