iDfellows - Hamburg Clinician Scientist Programme in Infectious Diseases (f/m/d)

iDfellows - Hamburg Clinician Scientist
Programme in Infectious Diseases

iDfellows is a DFG-funded career programme of the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) developed together with its close partners in infection research such as the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM), Leibniz Institute of Virology (LIV) and the Research Center Borstel. It is designed as a training and research programme to support excellent clinician scientists interested in aspects of infectious diseases, and allows to successfully combine a career in clinical medicine with innovative research. The programme will start at the beginning of 2023.

The UKE provides a working environment that offers equal opportunities regardless of age, gender, sexual identity, disability, heritage or religion. We uphold this by our adherence to the Diversity Charter. Specifically, with a wide range of family-friendly measures, we are aiming to increase the proportion of women in positions of leadership, in particular academic personnel in research and teaching. The same applies in the event of one gender being underrepresented in the recruiting department. People with a severe disability will be given priority where they have equal aptitude, qualifications and professional expertise.
