Scientific Project Associate / Biologist | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role involves joining the 'Oncolytic Measles Viruses and Vaccine Vectors' research group at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut to develop and characterize novel vaccine candidates against emerging, mostly zoonotic pathogens. As a key researcher, you will utilize recombinant measles viruses to create vaccines against threats like SARS-CoV-2 and highly pathogenic influenza viruses. Your daily responsibilities include conducting complex experiments to assess immune responses and protective efficacy, comparing various vaccine concepts, and collaborating closely with national research partners such as the University of Marburg. This position is ideal for a dedicated scientist who enjoys virological and biotechnological challenges and is capable of publishing findings and presenting at international conferences. The role offers a unique opportunity to work at a federal scientific institution responsible for vaccine approval, providing a stable public service environment with flexible working conditions and high-level research impact.
