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.

The ImmunoPreCept Academy provides training and career development, supporting progression from PhD to Postdoc to Group Leader. PhD positions are funded at E13, 65% for three years, and Postdoc positions at E13, 100% for two years. The research ecosystem in Berlin is vibrant, with access to leading experts in medicine, experimental life sciences, and computational approaches. Project topics include: early immune dysregulation and host-pathogen interactions, systems-level modeling of immune homeostasis, remission states in bone marrow across hematological cancers and autoimmune diseases, immune reprogramming in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and EBV-related autoimmune dysregulation. Applicants should have a strong computational or quantitative background, with expertise in genomics, single-cell profiling, machine learning, and translational biomedical research. No explicit GPA or language test requirements are mentioned. To apply, candidates should review detailed project descriptions on the ImmunoPreCept website and submit their application through the Charité portal. The positions are fully funded and embedded in a newly established cluster of excellence, with support from the ImmunoPreCept Academy. Berlin offers a high quality of life and a thriving international scientific community.
