Helmholtz-Institut Greifswald
Founding Director associated with a W3 university professorship for "One Health”
At the soon-to-be-established Helmholtz Institute in Greifswald and the University of Greifswald, the position of
Founding Director associated with a W3 university professorship for "One Health”
Is to be filled at the earliest possible date, subject to the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s budgetary conditions.
The new Helmholtz Institute Greifswald is to be established as a branch of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI, www.helmholtz-hzi.de), headquartered in Braunschweig, and will be closely linked scientifically with the University of Greifswald (www.uni-greifswald.de), the University Medical Center Greifswald (www.medizin.uni-greifswald.de) and the Friedrich-Loeffler Institute (FLI, www.fli.de).
Scientists at the HZI are investigating the mechanisms underlying bacterial and viral infectious diseases with the strategic goal of developing new approaches for their prevention, therapy and diagnosis. The University of Greifswald envisages itself as a traditional research university whose strength is based on the intensive interdisciplinary cooperation of the five faculties, notably the Faculties of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Medicine, as well as cooperation with outstanding non-university institutions, such as the FLI.
Helmholtz Institutes are branch offices of Helmholtz Centres which, by establishing themselves on the campus of a partner university, create the basis for long-term close cooperation between the partners in a specific, innovative field of research (www.helmholtz.de).
