  • Systematic improvement of existing and development of new innovative tissue-based methods, particularly in the areas of "spatial omics" and digital pathology
  • Organization of facility operations, including implementation of internal cost allocation
  • Consultation of facility users regarding histology projects
  • Training of interested users for independent execution of histological and histochemical techniques, including analysis of stains
  • Implementation of standardized and quality-assured processes
  • Conducting research projects in cooperation with DKFZ researchers
  • Acquisition of third-party funding
Your profile:
  • Completed university degree in biology, medicine, or veterinary medicine
  • Preferably completed doctorate
  • Theoretical and practical knowledge in histological analyses
  • Knowledge of digitally assisted evaluation of histochemical and immunohistochemical stainings
  • Preferably experience in leading a team
  • Service-oriented and communicative personality
  • High degree of self-motivation and self-organization
  • Very good knowledge of written and spoken English and German
We offer:
  • Excellent framework conditions: the most modern, state-of-the-art infrastructure and the opportunity for international exchange at a top level
  • Remuneration according to TV-L including company pension scheme and capital formation benefits
  • 30 days vacation
  • Flexible working hours
  • Possibility of mobile work and part-time work
  • Family-friendly working environment, depending on the location, with parent-child rooms, advice services, for example through company care guides
  • Sustainable work: discounted Germany job ticket
  • Develop your full potential: targeted offers for your personal development promote your talents
  • Our company health management offers a holistic offer for your well-being

The position is initially limited to 2 years.
An extension is possible.
