According to the duration of the second funding period (2026-2032) and in accordance with § 28 (2) NHG (Lower Saxony Higher Education Act), the successful applicant will be offered an initial 5-year contract, which can be converted into a permanent contract following a successful external evaluation.

Internationally outstanding research results and a successful track record in attracting third-party funding are required.
We are looking for an integrative individual with an outstanding international research profile in the field of analysis of large longitudinal infection immunology data sets such as single-cell and bulk mRNA sequencing, analysis of soluble effector molecules, or the T and B cell receptor repertoire. Experience in predicting immune responses and immunogenic epitopes, as well as in identifying new target structures for immune-based therapies for infections, would be desirable. We also expect solid experience in integrating immunological and other data sets using artificial intelligence. A particular future focus will be on the development of advanced prediction models for immune responses and the detection of infection susceptibility.
A strengthening of collaborative scientific research is expected, with particular emphasis on the three recognised research priorities at MHH (infection/immunity, transplantation/regeneration, biomedical engineering/implants). Opportunities for participation are also available in the Cluster of Excellence Hearing4all, the German Centres for Health Research (DZIF and DZL), and the Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC) Lower Saxony.
