The Health + Life Science Alliance Heidelberg Mannheim is looking for outstanding early career scientists, including clinician scientists, for bridging projects between two or more partner institutions.
With the Heidelberg University, its two medical faculties, Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD), Mannheim University Hospital (UMM) and leading national and international research centers – the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (MPImR) and the Central Institute of Mental Health (ZI) – the Alliance offers a unique research and development network in medicine, life sciences and medical technology in Germany.
The Alliance provides funds for two-year postdoctoral positions at Alliance institutions with the earliest start date on August 1, 2026 and the latest start date on January 1, 2027.
All applicants must apply with their own research project proposal supervised by at least two PIs at different Alliance institutions and must contact the Alliance PIs of their choice prior to applying. Applicants require a letter of support signed by the Alliance PIs.
Applicants may choose from innovative, interinstitutional project outlines proposed by project leaders of the Alliance specifically for this call to write their research proposal. Alternatively, applicants are also welcome to define their research proposal independent from the proposed project outlines, but also with at least two PIs at different Alliance institutions.
The Alliance primarily supports basic and translational research in the fields of cancer research, cardiovascular research, neuropsychiatric diseases, genomics, synthetic immunology, molecular engineering, medical technologies and novel applications of AI concepts in health and life science research
Applicants for the postdoctoral positions should have a PhD, MD or MD/PhD degree in a relevant area of research latest within four months after the submission deadline. Applicants should not have worked for more than a maximum of four months as a postdoctoral researcher or clinician scientist at Alliance institutions (co-)supervising the selected or proposed project at the time of the submission deadline.
