  Area of research: Administrative staff Job description: As a member of the Helmholtz Association, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, based in Braunschweig, conducts cutting-edge research in the field of infectious diseases. Our scientists develop novel methods and strategies to fight infectious diseases faster and more effectively. Our common goal is to develop novel approaches for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. Our research centres on bacterial and viral pathogens, their interaction with the human immune system and new effective agents and vaccines. The Outreach & Fundraising Office acts as a central point of contact for the maintenance and further development of the alumni network and the development and implementation of a new fundraising strategy. As part of the development of the new office, we need an experienced assistant to support us. This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With ...

We are seeking a dynamic, driven, and talented researcher, eager to make a difference in global health, to join the Vector Immunogenomics and Infection Laboratory as Research Associate. The role is part of Transmission Zero, a pioneering global research initiative dedicated to developing innovative genetic vector control methods to combat malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. At the forefront of our efforts is the identification of novel strategies to impede malaria transmission by targeting malaria parasites within the mosquito vector, with a particular focus on gene drive technology for mosquito population replacement. This project aligns with international efforts toward malaria eradication and sits at the intersection of molecular parasitology and malaria transmission biology. As a Research Associate, you will play a crucial role in investigating mosquito-parasite interactions and characterizing novel effector molecules targeting the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falcipar...

  About the team/job EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI)  is seeking talented and highly-motivated scientists to join its Faculty to develop their own independent research group. We welcome applicants from across the whole field of computational biology, in particular working at the interface of artificial intelligence and biology. Women, who are under-represented in our Faculty, are especially being encouraged to apply. EMBL-EBI is a global leader in computational biology and bioinformatics. Our research groups develop and apply computational approaches to answer fundamental and applied questions, ranging from studying how the genome has evolved through to how the microbiome affects our health and the impact of protein structure on drug responses. From a computational perspective, research in the Institute builds and expands upon a variety of methods, from strategies for sequence analysis through to high-dimensional statistical models, machine learning and art...

The Max Planck Research Group of Synergistic Organometallic Catalysis at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion in Mülheim an der Ruhr in cooperation with the Ruhr University Bochum, is currently looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Candidate (m/f/div) in the Field of Synthetic Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis The position is available immediately, with an initial one-year appointment that may be extended by mutual agreement. This research aims to advance the efficient and sustainable formation of C-N and C-O bonds. Transi­tion-metal catalysts are recognized for their trans­formative impact on bond creation due to their versa­tility with a broad spectrum of substrates and tolerance for various functional groups. This project seeks to build on these advancements by developing alternatives that prio­ritize atom economy. Our strategy involves the conception, design, and implemen­tation of adaptive transition-metal catalysts. These catalysts respond uniquely t...

  Overview of the School of Optical and Electronic Information, HUST Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) is a comprehensive research university located in Wuhan, China under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education. It is a participant university of the former “985” Project in China, and also one of the first universities approved under the national "Double First-Class" Initiative, China’s “Excellence Initiative” for institutions of higher education. The history of the School of Optical and Electronic Information (SOEI) can be traced back to the Optical Instrument Teaching and Research Group and Laser Research Group of the Department of Mechanics 1 established by the Huazhong Institute of Technology (now the Huazhong University of Science and Technology) in 1971. The school started the professional development of laser and optoelectronics earlier in China. In the late 1990s, Professor Huang Dexiu of SOEI wrote to the authorities of Hubei Province a...
