Postdoc position
We have open positions for postdocs!
Your profile
We are seeking highly motivated candidates with an excellent PhD in biology, biochemistry or a related field, a keen interest in researching immunology, allergology and inflammation, and strong teamwork skills to join our ambitious, international research team. Candidates must have extensive experience with cell biological, immunological, and molecular biological methods, including flow cytometry and microscopy techniques. Experience of working with transgenic mouse models, designing animal experiments and breeding planning, as well as relevant qualifications, is desirable. Prior experience in the supervision of doctoral students or in the field of education would be advantageous.
Your tasks
You will be involved in complex, scientifically and methodologically challenging research projects, including working with transgenic mouse models and their conceptual design and planning, as well as with innovative microscopy and omics technologies. In addition, you will supervise junior scientists and students (PhD, medical and Master's students) in their laboratory activities and research work. You will also be involved in administrative tasks and teaching. In the future, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to the conception of research projects.
We offer
A multifaceted and exciting position in a highly motivated and internationally recognised research team specialising in mast cell biology and using innovative techniques. Our unique selling point lies in our imaging-based monitoring of intercellular communication in the context of inflammatory processes. Our group is part of the well-equipped Institute for Clinical Immunology and Cell Therapeutics, and complex imaging techniques are available at the Multiparametric Bioimaging and Cytometry platform. Candidates will also have the opportunity to develop their own project ideas within our research focus, with active support throughout the process.
We offer a postdoc position, salary according to TVL-E13, full time, initially limited to 2 years.
Please send your application (including motivation letter, CV, and contact details of a referee) summarized as a single PDF file by April 30th 2026 by e-mail to: anne.dudeck@med.ovgu.de.
PhD position
We have open positions for PhD students!
Your profile
We are looking for highly self-motivated candidates with a very good background in biology, biochemistry or related disciplines, keen interest in immunology/allergy/inflammation research and very good teamwork skills to join our research-oriented, ambitious and international team. Experience in cell biological, immunological or molecular biological methods is required. Experience in working with transgenic mouse models and corresponding qualifications, tissue processing or microscopy techniques are advantageous.
We offer
A multifaceted, exciting position in a highly motivated and internationally visible research team in the field of mast cell biology, and using innovative techniques. Our unique selling point is the imaging-based monitoring of intercellular communication in the context of inflammatory processes. Our group is part of the well-equipped Institute for Clinical Immunology and Cell Therapeutics, and innovative imaging techniques are available at the Multiparametric Bioimaging and Cytometry platfrom. Applicants can be associated with the RTG2408 graduate school (“Maladaptive processes across physiological barriers in chronic diseases”) to benefit from close networking with other PhD students and to participate in the supervised qualification programs.
We offer a PhD Student position, salary according to TVL-E13, 65%, initially limited to 3 years.
Please send your application (including motivation letter, CV, and contact details of a referee) summarized as a single PDF file by April 30th 2026 by e-mail to: anne.dudeck@med.ovgu.de.
Bachelor/Master Thesis
We have open positions for bachelor/master students!
The projects will investigate mast cell / effector T cell interactions, in particular the relevance of the prior impact of dendritic cells on mast cell functions. It is possible to do a bachelor thesis, master thesis or a practical course.
Medical Thesis
We look for medical students interested in an experimental MD thesis!
The project will focus on the relevance of distinct mast cell mediators in the initiation, time course, severity and resolution of allergic diseases such as allergic contact dermatitis or asthma. Since this project will involve experimental lab work, it is required to be available two semesters full time. The application for an MD thesis fellowship within the RTG 2408 is possible.
