Postdoc Position in Immunology: Eosinophil Metabolic Rewiring and Tissue Adaptation
Postdoc position in Immunology
at the
University of Bonn
/ University Hospital Bonn, in the research group of
Dr. Nicola Diny
(Junior Research Group Leader).
The project focuses on
eosinophil metabolic rewiring
in the context of
tissue adaptation
. The Diny lab studies myeloid cell biology, especially eosinophils and macrophages in tissue homeostasis and disease, with interest in how environmental sensing and transcriptional control shape immune-cell function. The postdoc will investigate how eosinophils adapt their metabolism to different tissue environments and how this supports tissue-specific functions.
Research methods mentioned include
genetically modified in vivo models
,
in vitro cell culture
,
advanced flow cytometry
,
imaging
,
CRISPR gene silencing
,
single-cell sequencing
, and
bioinformatics
. This is a strong fit for candidates with interests in
immunology
,
metabolism
,
molecular medicine
,
biology
, and computational analysis of immune-cell data.
Eligibility highlights: a
PhD/doctorate
in Immunology, Metabolism, Molecular Medicine, Biology, or equivalent; strong practical research background; desired experience with eosinophils, animal models, immunology/metabolism research, and bioinformatics data analysis; and excellent English communication skills.
The position starts on
1 September 2026
and runs for
2 years
. Salary is according to
TV-L 13, 100%
, with supplementary benefits under the
VBL pension plan
. A subsidized public transport ticket (Jobticket) is also available.
To apply, email a single PDF containing your motivation letter, research experience, CV, and two reference contacts to
[email protected]
. Applications are requested as soon as possible and by
31 May 2026
at the latest; interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis.
