Description

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.

The Dept. of Molecular Immunology at the Ruhr-University Bochum invites applications from highly motivated candidates (m/f/x) with an interest in the regulation of gene expression influencing immune responses, the development of immune cells, and host-pathogen interactions. The candidate (m/f/x) is expected to work team-oriented in an international environment.
