„Forschen für ein Leben ohne Krebs“ – das ist unsere Aufgabe am Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum. Wir erforschen, wie Krebs entsteht, erfassen Krebsrisikofaktoren und suchen nach neuen Strategien, die verhindern, dass Menschen an Krebs erkranken. Wir entwickeln neue Methoden, mit denen Tumore präziser diagnostiziert und Krebspatient:innen erfolgreicher behandelt werden können. Jeder Beitrag zählt – ob in der Forschung, in der Administration oder der Infrastruktur. Das macht unsere tägliche Arbeit so bedeutungsvoll und spannend.

We have an open postdoctoral position in the Division "Personalized Medical Oncology" (head: Prof. Sonja Loges MD, PhD).
The Department "Personalized Medical Oncology” focusses on the identification of novel cancer-promoting mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Based on these functional insights we aim to derive novel targets for therapeutic intervention. Translation of research findings into the clinic will be possible at the „DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Hospital Mannheim“, which is also directed by Prof. Sonja Loges and generously funded by the Hector Foundation II.
We are offering an interesting and challenging field of work as well as an excellent work environment in a dynamic and multinational team, which works closely with national as well as international collaboration partners in academics as well as pharmaceutical companies. The location is Heidelberg.
Ihre Aufgaben:
The postdoctoral researcher will investigate sex-biased differences in anti-cancer immune responses as part of a DFG-funded project. The project involves state-of-the-art preclinical cancer models and access to patient samples and primary cell cultures to elucidate the sex-biased differences in response to immune therapy observed in humans. Additionally, the postdoc will implement innovative single cell technologies.
