HZI is Germany’s largest academic institution dedicated to infection research. It is a member of the Helmholtz Association, Germany’s largest scientific organization, ranked among the top global research institutions, and a member of the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF). HZI is associated with the Technical University Braunschweig and the Hannover Medical School (MHH), one of the top medical schools in the world.

Within the newly established " Microbial Stargazing” initiative and the " Human Microbe Alliance for Universal Health ” program, we are looking for a Scientific Writer to work within the HZI research support team that provides comprehensive support to our scientists. HUMAN is based on an integrative approach that applies novel technologies, systems biology, medical/life sciences and informatics to understand, predict and therapeutically target the mechanisms underlying health and disease. The HUMAN program is linked to and benefits from the MICROSTAR program. MICROSTAR focuses on microbes, their effector mechanisms and their adaptation strategies in competition with other organisms. Together, HUMAN-MICROSTAR applies a holistic and comprehensive approach that has the potential to provide groundbreaking insights and new solutions for human health in the context of its microbial environment.
