Postdoc Opportunities in Public Health in Germany

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 Simons Center for Computational Geophysical Flows at the Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science, New York University, is a new research and training hub focused on next-generation computational methods for problems in ocean, atmosphere, and ice dynamics. The advertised postdoctoral fellowships are designed for researchers who want to pursue deep, impactful work in computational climate and geophysical flows while contributing to the growth of the center and to b...

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...

The Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS) in Bremen is recruiting several postdoctoral researchers to contribute to a broad expansion of its prevention research portfolio. The post is embedded in a cross-departmental research environment that brings together multiple scientific departments at BIPS and connects closely with the University of Bremen. The research focus is on prevention of chronic, non-communicable diseases across the life course. The work spans major de...

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,...

The postdoctoral researcher will join the TransMoP project, which examines how land degradation and climate change shape human mobility and staying in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan . Based at the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) in Halle, the successful candidate will lead the project’s geospatial analyses and work at the intersection of remote sensing, environmental change, and migration-related research. The role focuses on assessing water stress , veget...

Senckenberg Society for Nature Research in Frankfurt am Main is recruiting for the VEBITA project, a transdisciplinary research programme at the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre focused on how animal movement data can inform understanding of behavioural adaptability and conservation responses to environmental change. The opening comprises two postdoctoral research positions in movement ecology , a data scientist , and a scientific coordinator . The postdoctoral researchers wi...

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...
