Job description:

HZI is Germany’s largest academic institution dedicated to infection research. It is a member of the Helmholtz Association, Germany’s largest research organization, and a member of the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF). In the newly established HUMAN program, we cooperate with our regional university partners, the Technische Universität Braunschweig, the Hannover Medical School (MHH), and the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover.

For the newly established HUMAN program, we seek exceptional professionals to join us on our journey to understand the complex interplay of humans and microbes in the fight against infectious diseases. We are recruiting clinician scientists with a focus on infection biology to tackle patient-oriented questions and pioneer solutions for human infection resilience and health of tomorrow, and who are committed to research excellence, translation, and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion).

About HUMAN:

HUMAN is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation and the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony. The program is based on an integrative approach that applies novel technologies, systems biology, medical/life sciences, and informatics to understand, predict, and therapeutically influence the mechanisms underlying health and disease.

The HUMAN program is linked to and benefits from the BMBF-funded Microbial Stargazing (MICROSTAR) program. MICROSTAR focuses on microbes, their effector mechanisms, and their adaptation strategies in competition with other organisms. Together, HUMAN-MICROSTAR applies a holistic and comprehensive approach that has the potential to provide groundbreaking insights and new solutions for human health in the context of its microbial environment.
