Job Description:

Better together. For life.

We are the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) - and we stand for excellent competence in research, teaching and comprehensive healthcare in our clinics. Every day, our approximately 15,300 employees strive anew to make the world a little healthier with their contribution.

It is our aspiration to be one of the leading university hospitals - and at the same time the best employer in our industry. At UKE, for example, we firmly believe that successful and fulfilling work should be in harmony with employees' personal needs and individual lifestyles. And as diverse as these are, so is our range of individual solutions.

Welcome to the UKE.

Postdoc (all genders) for Immunology

Main tasks

At the Hamburg Center for Translational Immunology (HCTI) within the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), we are actively seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with a robust background in experimental immunologyin the laboratory of Nicola Gagliani.

Our research focus centers on investigating the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms of T cell biology. Specifically, we explore how T cells adapt to environmental changes and ultimately contribute to either mediating physiological responses to pathogens or engaging in pathological tissue-damaging processes (Vesely et al., Cell (2019), Zhao Yu et al., Science Immunology (2021), Tintelnot J. et al., Nature (2023), Siracusa F. et al., Nature Imm. (2023), and Liebold I. et al Science (2024)).

In the years ahead, we aim to delve deeply into the complex interactions between environmental factors and the immune system, with a particular focus on virus-specific lung resident T cells. We would like to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that distinguish the development, function, and cell-cell interactions of protective and pathological virus-specific CD4 T cells. Virus-specific CD4 T cells could be ideal targets for preventing immune pathology following viral infections while formulating effective vaccination strategies. This approach is not only relevant for known respiratory viral pathogens but also for emerging viruses that pose the risk of future pandemics, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.

The laboratory of Nicola Gagliani is funded by DFG and ERC, providing a unique opportunity for fellows to access a combination of state-of-the-art techniques and multiomics data to answer key biological questions.

You can look forward to:

International and multidisciplinary environment at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, a leading institution in Europe (Germany)

Access to the institution's soft skills program, including training in presenting skills and scientific writing, as well as career-oriented courses

Mentoring focused on building the best possible career within and outside academia

Weekly scientific exchange through lab meetings and journal clubs

Opportunity to collaborate with research groups at the University of Yale (USA) and the Karolinska Institute (Sweden)

This position is temporary for 4 years due to project-related reasons.

Your Profile

Completed academic studies in biology, biochemistry, human biology, medicine or related subjects

Candidates applying for these positions should hold a PhD or MD, or an equivalent degree

We are looking for candidates who have expertise and commitment to experimental immunology

Immunity status

Please note that employment is only possible if there is complete proof of immunization or immunity against the measles virus in accordance with the applicable (legal and medical) requirements. You must provide proof of this by means of appropriate documents (. vaccination certificate) before commencing employment.
