General information
The Institute for Ophthalmic Research collaborates closely with the University Eye Hospital under the umbrella of the Centre for Ophthalmology. The Institute aims to uncover the causes of degenerative, inflammatory, neoplastic, and vascular diseases of the eye, using these discoveries to develop new diagnostics and therapies. Translational research is performed jointly with the University Eye Hospital Tübingen.
The Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN) is an interdisciplinary centre funded by the German Excellence Initiative. The CIN aims to understand how the brain—from the synaptic level to whole-brain circuits—produces intelligent, adaptive, and robust behaviour. Its research combines state-of-the-art behavioural measures, electrophysiology, and neuroimaging with the latest techniques in machine learning, AI, and model-building. While work at the CIN is predominantly basic research, the Centre collaborates with many application-focused institutions. Consequently, its findings are relevant for developing intelligent systems, gaining insights into clinical syndromes, and creating effective therapies.
Tübingen is a vibrant university city in southern Germany. The Tübingen Neuro Campus includes more than 100 active research groups and ranks among the most successful neuroscientific sites in Europe. Scientists in Tübingen pursue the full breadth of theoretical, systems, molecular, and clinical research using a wide range of methods. Beyond the CIN and the Centre for Ophthalmology, Tübingen is also home to the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health, and several institutes of the Max Planck Society. This environment provides tremendous exposure to the latest advances in neuroscience, machine learning, and AI, fostering collaborative projects across labs and institutes.
We offer employment with a salary and social benefits based on the collective agreement for public service employees in the academic and science sector, TV-L. The University of Tübingen promotes gender equality and therefore particularly encourages female scientists to apply. Preferential status will be given to handicapped persons, if equally qualified.
