Postdoctoral position (f/m/d) in cell biology, immunology and molecular biology research

The research group of Dr. Leon Hosang at the IMSF is inviting applications for a postdoc (f/m/d) in cell biology, immunology and molecular biology. Our research group at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) investigates the lung–brain axis, with a particular interest in how unique features of the lung shape both local and systemic immune responses, including immune regulation within the central nervous system. Our aim is to understand how these interactions contribute to the initiation, modulation and resolution of autoimmune neuroinflammation. Funding for this position is provided by the “UMG2032 - Excellence through Focus” project, funded by the State of Lower Saxony and the VolkswagenStiftung through the zukunft.niedersachsen program.
