Eligibility highlights include a PhD, PharmD, or MD, with less than 6 years of postdoctoral experience. Applicants should have a background in immunology, fibrosis, or cancer research, and should have expertise in developing and using mouse models. Strong English communication skills, motivation, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced translational research environment are emphasized. To apply, candidates should send a motivation letter and CV, including experience, track record, and two academic references, to Prof. Thomas Baumert and Dr Catherine Schuster by email.
