As a member of the Helmholtz Association, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig conducts cutting-edge research in the field of infectious diseases. Our scientists develop innovative strategies to combat infectious diseases more quickly and effectively – with the aim of creating new approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and therapy.

As part of the newly established HUMAN program, we support the careers of exceptional experts whose research helps to better understand the complex interaction between humans and infectious pathogens.

To support this program and other strategic initiatives of the HZI, we are looking for a committed and experienced fundraiser.
