A postdoctoral position is available in the new research group led by Stefanie Bader, Junior Group Leader at the University Hospital Heidelberg (UKHD), Center for Integrative Infectious Disease Research. The group focuses on immune dysregulation in post-viral syndromes, including Long COVID, with research spanning inflammation, cell death, and the use of in vivo models. Advanced imaging and omics technologies are central to the group's approach, and researchers have access to BSL-3 facilities and state-of-the-art platforms across Heidelberg.

This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in infectious disease, immunology, and the biological mechanisms underlying post-viral syndromes. The group is looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher who is excited to drive an independent project and contribute to a growing, collaborative team. The position offers the chance to work in a leading German research environment and to actively participate in fellowship applications.

Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field such as immunology, biology, or medical science, and experience with in vivo models, advanced imaging, or omics is desirable. The post does not specify salary or funding details, but it is a paid position with institutional support for external fellowships. To apply, candidates should submit their application via the UKHD job advertisement and are encouraged to contact Stefanie Bader directly with a CV and a brief statement of research interests.
