We are Helmholtz Munich. In a rapidly changing world, we discover breakthrough solutions for better health.
Our research is focused within the areas of metabolic health/diabetes, environmental health, molecular targets and therapies, cell programming and repair, bioengineering, and computational health. We particularly excel in the fields of basic research, bioengineering, artificial intelligence, and technological development.
Through this research, we build the foundations for medical innovation. Together with our partners, we seek to accelerate the transfer of our research, so that laboratory ideas can reach society and improve people’s quality of life at the fastest rate possible.
This is what drives us. Why not join us and make a difference?
Helmholtz Munich is a European hub for applied AI to drive biomedical discovery and develop solutions that will transform the future of medicine. The German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) develops personalized medical solutions for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. The DZD has the task of identifying new ways to treat diabetes by closely interlinking basic research, clinical research and applied research. The targeted use and linking of all research data plays an important role in this.
Together, we invite applications for a jointly affiliated Principal Investigator (f/m/x) in Computational Biomedicine.
Our offer
- A unique opportunity for scientific independence to establish yourself at the forefront of applied AI working with singular biomedical data sets in particular in diabetes research.
- A generous start-up package (salary, positions, running costs) at the level of an ERC Starting Grant; positions are limited to five years, with access to the tenure option for early career investigators.
- A dynamic, multicultural, interdisciplinary and highly collaborative research environment in Munich, one of the world’s most liveable cities.
You and your group will build a bridge between the German Center for Diabetes Research and the vibrant and thriving computational health community in Munich including ELLIS Munich (with the opportunity to join the ELLIS society).
We specifically welcome applications from female scientists. Helmholtz Munich and the LMU Klinikum are deeply committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. Both are certified equal opportunity employers with a family-friendly research environment, flexible hours and remote working options, dual-career opportunities and a child-care facility on campus.
