Unsolicited Application as a Doctoral Student

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32,000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI researches and develops special problem solutions at the interface of medicine, biosciences, and engineering. One of its main tasks is contract research for biotechnological, pharmaceutical, and medical technology companies, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, and research institutions.

Are you looking for an opportunity to expand your theoretical knowledge with practical experience as part of your dissertation? Then you've come to the right place! At Fraunhofer IZI, we regularly supervise committed talents who want to conduct cutting-edge research with us. At our institute, employees conduct research on exciting projects and develop individual products and services for our clients, primarily from the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. Research at the Fraunhofer IZI focuses on the fields of immuno-oncology and infectious disease pathology.

Immuno-oncology offers an innovative approach to cancer therapy and complements traditional methods such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. The immune system is specifically activated in order to effectively combat abnormal cells. Our researchers are working on the development of new immunotherapies that will expand the range of treatments in the future and give patients new hope. Together with our partners, we at the Fraunhofer IZI are driving forward the implementation of these pioneering approaches in clinical practice.

Infectious diseases pose a constant challenge to global health - for humans and animals. To counteract these threats, we at Fraunhofer IZI are researching the mechanisms of disease transmission and development as well as innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our infectious disease pathology team works closely with international partners to develop technologies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases.

During your dissertation, you will gain exciting insights into the everyday life of a research institution and can apply theoretical knowledge from your studies in a practical way. You will get to know our structures and processes in the scientific-technical and commercial business areas and can actively contribute and implement your ideas with a great deal of creative freedom. Use this springboard to launch your career in the research and development environment and take an important step in your professional development. In your unsolicited application, you are welcome to specify an area or topic that you are particularly interested in.

What you will do

• You will have the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience during your dissertation in the context of exciting projects in the life sciences environment - at one of the leading research organizations in Europe.
• Your day-to-day work will be characterized by independent and systematic experimental work; you will have access to numerous technologies and interesting cooperation options within the institute.
• You will work closely with experienced colleagues and renowned scientific partners in Germany and abroad.
• You will actively pass on your knowledge by supervising our young scientists.

What you bring to the table

• You have completed a scientific university degree in the medical, technical, or natural sciences with above-average results.
• Ideally, you already have experience in national or international project work in the field of research or in a research-related environment.
• You are able to communicate confidently in German and/or English and enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team.
• Your way of working is characterized by commitment and initiative and you approach new challenges independently and flexibly.

What you can expect

• Thanks to our close links with industry, creative research freedom meets real added value for society. You will help shape the medicine of tomorrow and gain exciting insights into the leading organization for application-oriented research in Europe.
• You will be part of a dedicated team and have the opportunity to actively shape your area of work and contribute your ideas. Our flat management hierarchy supports the independent work of our employees.
• The doctoral positions at Fraunhofer are designed in such a way that you will be involved in ongoing projects right from the start, but will also have sufficient time available for your dissertation. In addition to a scientific supervisor, you will also be assigned an independent mentor for your doctoral project. Your professional qualification and interdisciplinary skills will be supported by a modular training concept.
• Cutting-edge research is only possible with cutting-edge equipment: with a total of almost 8000 m² of laboratory space, we offer you everything a researcher's heart desires.
• With flexible working hours, part-time models, home office options, and trust-based working hours, we enable free and self-determined time management.
• Sometimes family comes first - we know that! That's why we offer a wide range of support services to help reconcile family and career.
• Additional benefits: 30 days' vacation based on a 5-day week (Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are also work-free with us), special annual payment, time off in lieu for overtime, company pension plan, capital-forming benefits, a discounted Germany Job Ticket for public transport, free parking, and secure bicycle parking spaces with charging stations for electric vehicles.
