In our young, expanding group we always have positions available for motivated students of Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics and related subjects.

We can offer a spirited and committed scientific atmosphere in an interdisciplinary group jointly working on exciting topics of molecular cell biophysics.

State of the art technology in the field of molecular, structural and cell biology, protein and peptide biochemistry as well as optical spectroscopy and biophysics is available.

Students of different nationalities work in our research department, and thus, the language of all research seminars is English.

We are highly interested in international scientific exchange and thus we explicitly encourage foreign students and PhDs to apply for positions in our groups.

PhD Students

The doctoral students in the group have joined us from many different Universities in Europe and have studied Biochemistry, Biology or Chemistry. PhD-students are usually paid according to TV-L E13, or by fellowships from the DFG, which is in the same order of magnitude.

Postdoctoral Fellows

Typically, postdoctoral fellows should be successful in obtaining a fellowship supporting at least part of the time they spent in the group. Not all fellowships are open to all nationalities and therefore strategies have to be specifically devised. We will, however, be committed to help with these applications.

Graduate Students

Several departments encourage or even require students to spend some time in a research lab to acquire experimental skills. We regularly host such students, several of whom have returned later for diploma and/or doctoral work. Usually such stays last from 6 weeks to 4 months, and the students must have basic training in experimental biochemistry before coming. They would work under the guidance of an experienced doctoral student in an ongoing project. Please be aware such stays need to be arranged well in advance, and therefore contact us in due course.
