PostDoc | Histopathology, Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease Focus

The Position

Shape the future of therapeutic innovation with next‑generation histopathology!

Join a cutting‑edge research team advancing drug target and therapeutic concept validation through advanced histopathology. As a Postdoctoral Scientist, you will establish IHC‑ and IF‑ based readouts to characterize novel targets, assess their translation in disease‑relevant animal models as well as ex‑vivo/in‑vitro models and gain mechanistic insight into novel therapeutic concepts in early research. This role offers the opportunity to join a team of pathology and AI specialists and to collaborate with multidisciplinary experts that contribute to transformative approaches in drug discovery within a dynamic pharmaceutical research environment.

Tasks & responsibilities

• In your new role, you will establish, optimize and validate workflows to enable automated, large‑scale histopathology readouts in disease‑relevant in vivo and in vitro models.
• In this context, you will combine these methods with quantitative and AI‑based image analysis to increase sensitivity, supporting model selection and treatment efficacy readouts.
• You will select, test and qualify antibodies to enable single‑ or multiplex tissue stains in combination with ISH across species.
• While your focus will be on cardiovascular and metabolic indications, your role will encompass a diverse range of therapeutic areas.
• You will work in a multidisciplinary and international team of scientists.
• Moreover, you will be part of Boehringer’s global postdoctoral program and will have the opportunity to showcase your research at various internal and external scientific meetings.

Requirements

• Doctoral/PhD degree in veterinary medicine or related discipline. Completed residency in veterinary pathology (ECVP‑/ACVP‑ board eligible); ECVP‑ or ACVP board certification is a plus.
• In‑depth knowledge of histopathology and general pathology is a must. Demonstrated expertise in image analysis is a strong advantage.
• Profound knowledge of histological and immunohistochemical techniques. Experience in molecular pathology and animal disease models is a plus.
• Track record of publications in peer‑reviewed journals.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Fluency in English spoken and written; German is a plus.
