PhD and Postdoc Positions in Immunology, Single-Cell Biology, and Molecular Precision Prevention in Berlin Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Germany

The ImmunoPreCept Cluster of Excellence in Berlin is recruiting PhD and Postdoc candidates for interdisciplinary research in immunology, single-cell biology, genomics, and molecular precision prevention. The cluster aims to shift medicine from disease treatment to health preservation by uncovering the molecular and cellular networks that maintain tissue homeostasis. Projects span computational biology, systems immunology, and translational biomedical research, with a focus on early immune perturbations, remission states in bone marrow, immune reprogramming in metabolic disease, and EBV-related immunity.

Successful applicants will join a collaborative environment across Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, MDC, and partner institutions, working with leading experts in medicine, experimental life sciences, and computational approaches. The ImmunoPreCept Academy provides training and career development through a cross-institutional, interdisciplinary platform. PhD positions are offered at E13, 65% (3-year contract), and Postdoc positions at E13, 100% (2-year contract), both fully funded according to German public sector rates.

Applicants should have a strong background in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics, physics, or biology with computational expertise. Projects may require skills in genomics, single-cell and spatial profiling, machine learning, and translational research. The research environment is highly connected and international, offering access to cutting-edge technologies and a vibrant scientific community in Berlin.

To apply, candidates should review detailed project descriptions on the ImmunoPreCept website and submit their application through the Charité portal. The positions are open to early career researchers worldwide, and the cluster encourages sharing the opportunity with relevant networks.
