Offer Description

Area of research:

Scientific / postdoctoral posts

The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, based in Braunschweig, is a member of the Helmholtz Association and conducts cutting-edge research in the field of infectious diseases. Our scientists develop novel methods and strategies to combat infectious diseases more quickly and effectively. Our common goal is to develop novel approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases. Our research focuses on bacterial and viral pathogens, their interaction with the human immune system, and new effective drugs and vaccines.

Our research group “Dynamics of Respiratory Infections” (DINF) (headed by Prof. H. Slevogt) at the HZI in Braunschweig focuses on the interaction between lung microbes and the host. We pursue a combined approach using clinical and molecular biological methods. We are closely affiliated with the Department of Pneumology and Infectiology at MHH and are part of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), which provides us with excellent opportunities for translational research. Our team currently consists of nine scientists who apply a wide range of methods, including cell culture, molecular biology, infection biology, and bioinformatics.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.

Responsibilities

• Conduct scientific / postdoctoral research in the field of dynamics of respiratory infections as part of the DINF group.
• Collaborate with the Department of Pneumology and Infectiology at MHH and with the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) to enable translational research.
• Apply a broad range of methods including cell culture, molecular biology, infection biology, and bioinformatics.
