Leibniz Institut für Naturstoff-Forschung und Infektionsbiologie e.V. Hans-Knöll-Institut (HKI)

The Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research ( LPI ) is a project of the National Roadmap for Research Infrastructures of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). As one of the supporting institutions of the LPI, the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology ( Leibniz-HKI ) is establishing the The independent translational research group Applied Infection Immunology will strengthen the microbiology and immunology in the dynamically developing field of applied cellular immunology. The translational group to be established aims to both foster aspects of basic research and establish the basis for applications, such as immune cell-based diagnostics and immune cell therapy at the site. We therefore seek applications from excellent, highly committed, advanced postdoctoral researchers with international experience and an outstanding scientific track record in infection biology, preferably in the fields of cellular immunology, single-cell RNA sequencing, and FACS. The successful candidate will establish their research group in the field of applied infection immunology and cell therapy. The independent Translational Research Group will have access to the existing excellent research infrastructure at the Leibniz-HKI. The group will be embedded in an outstanding scientific environment with state-of-the-art research facilities and top equipment.
