Postdoc | Myeloid Cell Biology in Lung Fibrosis
Boehringer Ingelheim • Biberach, Germany • Posted June 13, 2026
About the Role
**The Position**
Step into a postdoctoral role where your research will directly advance our understanding of how macrophages shape fibrotic lung disease. By combining in vitro macrophage co-culture systems with in vivo depletion and repopulation studies, you will generate mechanistic and longitudinal insight into fibrosis-relevant myeloid cell biology. You will establish robust assays to quantify macrophage-driven pro-fibrotic and pro-repair effects across lung-relevant cell systems and develop approaches for longitudinal macrophage tracking in vivo.Working closely with interdisciplinary experts across discovery research, you will independently design, execute, and communicate high-impact studies that connect macrophage behavior to fibrosis-relevant endpoints.
**Tasks & responsibilities**
+ In your new role, you will characterize macrophage state and function using relevant molecular, cellular, and immunophenotyping readouts in lung fibrosis models and contr...
