We are seeking an outstanding junior scientist who wants to take the opportunity to start an independent research group.
Tasks and responsibilities
The new research group will use cutting-edge methods of immunology and microbiology to study fundamental questions in infection, medical microbiology and immunity. Research should focus on host-pathogen interactions with an emphasis on innate immune responses, ideally using highly innovative methods.
The research program is expected to complement the scientific interests of the Department of Infectious Diseases and should be connected to collaborative research activities of the Faculty of medicine, e.g. SFB 1129. Moreover, participation in the German Center for Infectious Research or the German Center for Lung Research should be envisaged.
The group will be provided with laboratory space and a modern research infrastructure including central research facilities (e.g. next generation sequencing, microscopy, animal facilities, mass spectrometry). The successful applicant will receive a generous start-up package with full funding for personell and consumables. Contract will be made for 5 years.
Prerequisites
The position requires a completed university degree, an excellent dissertation in the natural or life sciences and an exceptional publication record. Ideally, the successful candidate will have additional third-party funds or running applications. A minimum of two years of professional research experience (e.g. as postdoctoral scientist) is expected.
Interested?
Your application package should include a short description of your past research and future plans (max. 4 pages), CV, publication list, copies of certificates and two academic references. Please send your application as a single pdf file in English by e-mail to
