The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics (MPI‑IE) in Freiburg, Germany is an interdisciplinary research institution that conducts basic research in two key areas of modern biology : Immunobiology and Epigenetics. Central questions address the molecular basis of cell type identities, as they are regulated during immune cell differentiation, metabolic response and epigenetic chromatin adaptation.

We value and promote diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities, so we welcome applications from all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from severely disabled people. We would also like to increase the proportion of women in areas where they are underrepresented and therefore expressly encourage women to apply.
