The Ruhr-University Bochum is one of the leading research universities in Germany. The
university draws its strengths from both the diversity and the proximity of scientific and
engineering disciplines on a single, coherent campus. This highly dynamic setting enables
students and researchers to work across traditional boundaries of academic subjects and
faculties.
The Dept. of Molecular Immunology at the Ruhr-University Bochum invites applications from
candidates (m/f/d) with an interest in the regulation of gene expression influencing immune
responses and the development of immune cells.
At Ruhr-Universität Bochum, we wish to promote careers of women in areas in which they are
underrepresented, and we would therefore like to encourage female candidates to send us
their applications. Applications by suitable candidates with severe disabilities and other
applicants with equal legal status are likewise most welcome.
