Postdoc Opportunities in Medical Science 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 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...

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...

The Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS) in Bremen is expanding its research on preventing chronic, non-communicable diseases across the life course, and is seeking several postdoctoral researchers for this cross-departmental effort. The position sits within a broad prevention research environment that combines large cohort studies, a new birth cohort, and secondary analysis of health claims data. The work spans factors beyond individual diseases, including lifestyle...

The German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) in Potsdam-Rehbrücke, Germany, invites applications for a Postdoc (m/f/d) in the Junior Research Group of Gut-Brain Interactions. DIfE is a Leibniz Association institute focused on experimental and clinical research in nutrition and health, with the broader goal of understanding the molecular basis of nutrition-dependent diseases and developing prevention and treatment strategies. The position starts on 1 May 2027 and is centered on the neural dynam...

The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) invites applications for a temporary postdoctoral position in autoimmunity and infection in gastroenterology , based in the I. Department of Medicine in Hamburg, Germany. The immunological research program investigates reciprocal influences between infections and autoimmunity, with a focus on autoimmune liver diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases. The successful postdoctoral researcher will work with complex cell-culture models and primary...
