Biologist, Translational Research (Infectious Diseases) | Biologist (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role involves advanced translational research within the Translational Research Unit for Infectious Diseases (TRU-ID) at a leading German university hospital, focusing on improving immunological understanding and developing innovative therapies for serious bacterial infections like tuberculosis (Mtb). The Biologist will primarily implement and optimize robotics-based, high-throughput screening workflows for antibiotic drug discovery targeting Mtb. Key responsibilities include coordinating robotic instrumentation (e.g., Beckman Echo/Access, Agilent Cytation 10), integrating multi-omics data (transcriptomic, proteomic, phenotypic) for predictive modeling of Mtb resistance evolution, and performing strain engineering using barcoding and recombineering techniques. The successful candidate must hold a PhD in a relevant field, possess experience in high-throughput screening and automation, and demonstrate excellent English communication skills. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface of clinical studies and laboratory research within a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and internationally funded environment.
