Postdoc Opportunities in Biology in Germany

Forschungszentrum Jülich is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Multiscale Neurodevelopment team within the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine – Brain and Behaviour (INM-7) in Jülich, Germany. The team investigates how cortical architecture, connectivity and functional dynamics mature across early life. Combining multiscale frameworks with computational modelling, the research aims to improve understanding of cognitive maturation and psychiatric illness. The project brings together...

The University of Cologne is offering a postdoctoral position in the General Ecology Research Group within the Institute of Zoology, led by Professor Patrick Fink. The project, “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress,” investigates the Rhine floodplain as an interconnected environmental system. The research links hydrology, sediment dynamics, biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions to understand how floodplain processes respond to environmental stress. The succes...

The Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at the Mannheim Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University is recruiting a Research Assistant / Postdoc (w/m/d) to join a research group studying the morphological, molecular, and functional properties of lymphatic endothelium . The project examines how these properties change in the context of chronic diseases and how they influence the immune system. The successful candidate will contribute to research in endothelial cell biology and immunology...

The Tan Lab at New York University’s School of Medicine and Institute for Systems Genetics is recruiting postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and research staff. The lab develops machine-learning models to understand and engineer gene regulation. This interdisciplinary research environment combines computational methods with genetics and molecular biology to investigate how regulatory information is encoded and how it can be engineered. Postdoctoral and doctoral researchers would join a syste...

Peter und Traudl Engelhorn Stiftung offers a postdoctoral stipend in the life sciences for researchers working at renowned institutions in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. The stipend supports research across a broad life sciences remit, including biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, proteomics, cell biology, systems biology, microbiology, biomedical technology, biophysics, genetic engineering, and bioinformatics. This is a foundation-backed opportunity for early-career res...

Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS) in Bremen is seeking several statisticians to contribute to cross-departmental research in large epidemiological cohort studies and related health-data projects. The advertised positions sit within BIPS’s broader prevention research agenda, with a strong emphasis on methodological and implementation research. The institute conducts its own cohort studies, participates in the NAKO Health Study, and uses secondary data from health i...

Osnabrück University is recruiting a PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher as a Research Associate to join an interdisciplinary team working at the interface of immunology and mechanobiology . The project, “Cyclic Mechanical Forces Sustain Cytotoxic Immune Competence,” examines how physiological mechanical forces encountered during circulation and breathing help maintain cytotoxic immune function. The research focuses on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells, which play...

The EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships support excellent postdoctoral researchers working in laboratories throughout Europe and beyond. The scheme is designed around international exchange, and it also supports fellows through leadership courses and networking opportunities. The fellowship is associated with EMBO/EMBC research environments and can be used for employment contracts in EMBC countries. It is a competitive research mobility award for scientists pursuing postdoctoral work in the life scien...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Institute of Zoology, General Ecology research group at the University of Cologne and is part of the project “The Rhine Floodplain – a Biogeochemically Coupled System under Stress.” The project examines how altered hydrology shapes floodplain sediment dynamics, biodiversity, food webs, microbial activity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The successful researcher will develop a mechanistic framework connecting hydrological drivers with biotic, sedimentary,...
