Postdoctoral Fellow (all genders) in Neuroimmunological Research

Position: Post-doctoral Position

Deadline: 31 January 2026

Contract Length: 3 years

City: Hamburg

Country: Germany

Institution: University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE)

Department: Institute of Neuroimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis (INIMS)

Description:

As a postdoctoral fellow at one of Europe’s leading university hospitals, the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), you will have the opportunity to independently pursue a research project in the field of ‘Translational Neuroimmunology’ and thus lay the foundation for a successful career in academic medicine.

The Institute of Neurimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis (INIM S) focuses on the immunological dysregulation (Med. 2021 Mar 12;2(3):296-312.e8.), the neurobiological consequences (Cell. 2025 Aug 21;188(17):4567-4585.e32.) and personalized treatment (Med. 2024 Jun 14;5(6):550-558.e2.) of neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and, in cooperation with the Clinic and Polyclinic for Neurology, on clinical care and research (Mult Scler. 2025 Sep;31(10):1231-1242.). The working language in the laboratories is English.

• Working on a research project in the field of translational neuroimmunology
• Development of independent research strategies and their realization

This position is initially limited to three years as part of a third-party funded project and can also be filled by part-time staff. The position is to be filled immediately.

Your Profile

• Completed scientific university degree in biology, biomedicine, biochemistry, psychology or comparable and completed doctorate
• Prerequisite: Knowledge in the field of neurobiology, immunology, neuroimmunology or behavioral medicine incl. rehabilitation; documentation of scientific achievements through publications (ideally including first authorships)
• Advantageous: ‘Postdoc’ time at a neurobiological or immunological research institution or in the field of behavioral medicine incl. rehabilitation; bioinformatics skills
• Very good written and spoken English, proficient in MS Office
• Strong scientific interest in molecular and cell biological questions of medical relevance or in clinical studies
• Ability to work in a team and to work purposefully on projects

Your application should contain:

• Curriculum vitae with qualifications (max. 3 A4 pages)
• List of publications
• Brief description of your research idea in the field of translational neuroimmunology (1 A4 page)
• Two references with telephone/email

Immunity status
