Alliance Interinstitutional Postdoc Program
The Alliance Inter-institutional Postdoc Program fosters early scientific independence and supports innovative research ideas. Embedded in an excellent inter-disciplinary scientific environment, the program offers access to high-end technologies and state-of-the-art labs at world-class research institutions in Heidelberg and Mannheim, Germany – one of the largest biomedical research hubs in Europe.
In order to attract talent to the Alliance partner institutions and to the Rhine-Neckar region, the Health + Life Science Alliance carries out annual recruitment rounds. Based at at least two Alliance labs, highly talented and motivated postdoctoral fellows are funded over up to two years to work on inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional research projects by members of the Alliance.
Application to the Program
The program is currently closed, details on the next call will be announced in due course.
