Vocational Training (laboratory technician)

The Center for Infectious Diseases has several positions available for a 3-year vocational training as laboratory technician starting on 1st September 2025. We look forward to receiving your application via our online job portal by February 28, 2025. The selection interviews take place in April.

Postdoc position: Hentzschel lab

The Hentzschel lab is currently looking for a Postdoc to work on the early oocyst development of Plasmodium.

Applications to be submitted to our group leader Franzi via email.

Project start: as soon as possible

Natural Sciences: Interested in a position as PhD student?

Please have a look at the homepage of our Graduate School HBIGS (www.hbigs.uni-heidelberg.de) where the research groups Frischknecht, Lanzer and Hentzschel advertise all their open PhD student positions. You may also submit an unsolicited application via the online application system and the groups will then get in touch with you. If you are interested in working in one of our other groups, please contact the group leaders directly.

MEDICINE: INTERESTED IN AN EXPERIMENTAL MD THESIS?

Even if there is currently no suitable dissertation project from our department online on MEDISS, you can contact us directly at any time (either our secretary Miriam or the respective group leader) and we will see if there might be a project for you.

Wanting to do a lab practical in our department?  

Please either contact the group yourself or get in touch with our secretary Miriam.

- By the way, it is always helpful to include a CV together with information on the prospective timeframe (please note that we normally only accept students for lab practicals that go beyond 6 weeks so that it is possible to have a small project to work on) and the preferred research group -

For students from abroad: We ask for your understanding that we normally do not have funds available to cover your travel and accommodation costs. Thus, if you are really interested in coming to our labs, please seek your own funding through national or international agencies (e.g. DAAD). Due to the large number of emails we receive, we reserve the right not to respond to enquiries from students from abroad who cannot provide proof of sufficient funding for their internship.  

Looking for a postdoctoral position?

We are always interested in welcoming promising young researchers in our labs :-) Please just contact the relevant group you would like to join. In general, it is always appreciated when Postdocs bring their own money, i.e. apply for a fellowship (Humboldt Foundation, Cellnetworks, Marie Curie, EMBO, Medical Faculty of our University).

  • We are looking for enthusiastic Bachelor or Master students to join the Lanzer lab for a lab rotation or a BSc / an MSc thesis (focus on the blood stage of the malaria infection).

    The project will concentrate on KAHRP, a crucial protein involved in knob formation in infected red blood cells, which significantly affects disease severity.

    You will apply advanced cloning, protein expression, and purification techniques under close supervision of a PhD student on the project.

    To express interest, please contact our secretary Miriam directly.
