Clinic for Internal Medicine II, University Medical Center Freiburg, is looking for
PostDoc student (m/f/d)
We focus on translational research in the field of immune responses against hepatitis viruses as well as SARS-CoV2 and hepatocellular carcinoma. Our results contribute to a better understanding of human immune responses with implications for therapeutic strategies.
Job description:
The lab has a focus on translational immunological research. We are particularly interested in the mechanisms regulating T cells in chronic infection, cancer and autoimmune disease, with a foucs on understanding T cell exhaustion. The aim of the funded project is to analyze virus-specific T-cell responses in outcome and pathogenesis of chronic viral infections using high-dimensional immune cell profiling. Your work will unravel diverging mechanisms of antigen-specific CD8+ T cell dysfunction and contribute to a better understanding of human immune responses with implications for therapeutic strategies.
We offer:
- a translational project in a clinically relevant setting with the possibility to implement your own ideas
- working in a dedicated interdisciplinary team of biologists and physicians on exciting research topics
- a unique network of excellent partners for continuous support in development of your scientific profile

- 30 days of vacation
Your work includes but is not limited to:
- autonomous processing of research tasks dealing with immune responses in chronic viral infections
- working with infectious sample material (S3** lab)
application of state-of-the-art and cutting-edge methods of cell and molecular biology including high dimensional flow cytometry and single cell transcriptome analysis - establishing of new methods to elaborate on subsequent research questions
- organization and implementation of cooperation projects
- data evaluation, documentation and presentation in regular lab and (inter)national conferences
- training and supervision of students
Prerequisites:
- we are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual who enjoys translational scientific work in an interdisciplinary and international team.
