Postdoctoral Researcher in AI-integrated Neuroimmunology

The group is located within the Institute of Clinical Neuroimmunology  at the Biomedical Center Munich. The professorship of Systems Neuroimmunology is part of the Cluster of Excellence SyNergy.

The newly established Systems Neuroimmunology Laboratory at LMU Munich is seeking a motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher passionate about combining neuroimmunology and advanced computational approaches, including artificial intelligence (AI), to unravel the mechanisms driving neuroimmunologic diseases.

Your responsibilities:

• Plan and perform innovative large-scale experiments bridging human patient samples and cutting-edge AI-driven analyses
• Validate computational findings through functional laboratory experiments
• Develop and optimize protocols involving omics methods, immune cell assays, flow cytometry, and gene editing techniques
• Collaborate closely with biologists, clinicians, and data scientists within a highly interdisciplinary environment
• Contribute to publications and presentations at international conferences

• Completed PhD in Biology, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Immunology, or related field
• Strong interest in computational science and AI (prior formal training not required)
• Experience with immunological methods (flow cytometry, qPCR, functional assays, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing) is beneficial
• Familiarity with omics and sequencing technologies (e.g., scRNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, TCR-/BCR-sequencing, ChIP-seq) is advantageous
• Excellent teamwork, communication skills, and creativity
• International candidates are strongly encouraged to apply

• Exciting position within a creative, and highly interdisciplinary research group

• Open, collaborative culture with ample opportunity for innovative ideas

• Strong commitment to career development and training

• Excellent scientific environment with state-of-the-art technologies and facilities

• Remuneration is based on the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector of the Länder (TV-L) including all allowances customary in the public sector
