Jobbeschreibung

Are you passionate about interdisciplinary research and eager to contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in the areas of biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, cell biology, chemical biology and synthetic biology?

The International Max Planck Research School for Living Matter: from molecules to dynamics (IMPRS-LM) is a joint PhD program between the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology, the TU Dortmund University, the Ruhr University of Bochum, and the University of Duisburg-Essen, located in the vibrant and multicultural Ruhr Metropolitan Area in Germany. The IMPRS-LM unites scientists from diverse disciplines to tackle a fundamental question in biology: How chemical components organize into the complex, dynamic systems we recognize as living cells? By combining experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches, our interdisciplinary team of molecular biologists, chemists and physicists explores the spatial and temporal dynamics of biochemical networks within the cellular environment.

We welcome applicants with a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Biology, Biochemistry, Life Sciences, (Bio-)Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, or related fields.

The IMPRS-LM offers a unique, internationally recognized PhD training program designed to equip students with the interdisciplinary expertise needed to address complex challenges in cellular biology. Through a rigorous curriculum, hands‑on research in world‑class labs, and personalized mentorship, we empower students to become innovative, independent researchers ready to shape the future of science.

As a PhD student, you will benefit from:

• Fully funded positions (via employment contracts with full social benefits)
• Dedicated mentors who support your scientific and career development
• An inclusive, international research community fostering collaboration and creativity
• Access to state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technologies
• A fully English‑speaking program featuring lectures, advanced workshops, transferable skills training, and career development activities
