Postdoctoral Fellow Molecular Virology (m/f/d)
The University Hospital Heidelberg is one of the major healthcare centers in Germany. Our objective is the development of innovative diagnostics and therapies as well as their quick implementation for the patient. With about 10,700 employees in more than 50 specialized clinical departments with almost 2,000 beds, about 80,000 patients in part-time and full-time inpatient treatment as well as 1,000,000 patients in ambulant treatment are medicated each year.
Postdoctoral Fellow Molecular Virology (m/f/d)
wanted for the next possible date at the Department of Infectious Diseases, Molecular Virology, research team Ralf Bartenschlager.
The Bartenschlager group is studying the interaction between plus-strand RNA viruses such as Dengue and Zika virus, SARS-CoV-2 and Hepatitis C virus and their host cells. One major focus is the cell biology underlying virus – host cell interactions aiming to understand how viruses reprogram cells for robust viral replication with the goal to identify possible drug targets for antiviral therapy. As part of that we study the 3D architecture, biogenesis and molecular composition of the membranous viral replication organelles. Another major aim is to decipher how these viruses activate innate cytokine responses and the viral countermeasures. To reach these goals, we use standard molecular and cell biological methods, -omics based approaches, genetic screening as well as cutting-edge light and electron microscopy methods. To complement our research team and to work on the interactions between plus-strand RNA viruses with their host cells as well as activation and inhibition of innate cytokines responses, we are seeking for a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate. Further information about our research and example references can be found here.

We stand for equal opportunities. Severely disabled persons are given priority in the case of equal suitability. The University Hospital aims to generally increase the proportion of women in all areas and positions in which women are underrepresented. Qualified women are therefore particularly encouraged to apply. Full-time positions are generally divisible, unless there are official or legal reasons to the contrary.
