Jobbeschreibung

The DFG-funded Research Training Group RTG-2900 at Osnabrück University is seeking to appoint 12 PhD positions to commence work on January 1, 2024. The positions are limited until June 30, 2027.

The research projects of RTG-2900 focus on the interdisciplinary development of new methods to follow molecular processes on biological membranes with the highest spatial and temporal resolution. To this end, nanomaterials are to be specifically synthesized and integrated into surface architectures in such a way that they can be used for spectroscopic and microscopic investigations of biological membranes with sensitivities in the single-molecule range. The 12 research projects of the Research Training Group are organized into four interdisciplinary project clusters:

• Cluster PC-I – Energy-converting nanoparticles for interrogating protein and lipid dynamics at signalling complexes in the plasma membrane (PhD1-PhD3)
• Cluster PC-II – Supramolecular surface architectures for directing and interrogating plasma membrane permeabilization and repair at nanoscale (PhD4-PhD6)
• Cluster PC-III – Tailored ultrathin macroporous substrates for correlative structural-functional analyses of protein complexes in membranes (PhD7-PhD9)
• Cluster PC-IV – Carbon nanomaterial-supported membranes for optical and electrical interrogation of membrane fusion machineries (PhD10-PhD12)

Your Duties:

• Participation in a research project of the DFG-funded research training group
• Own further scientific qualification with the aim of obtaining a doctoral degree

Requirements:

• Completed first degree (M.Sc.) in life sciences, chemistry or physics, or related fields of study
• Strong interest in interdisciplinary research
• Ability to work in a team and willingness to engage in multilateral research cooperation
• Very good command of written and spoken English

We Offer:

• State-of-the-art laboratory and equipment infrastructure at the Center for Cellular Nanoanalytics (CellNanOs)
• Collaboration in exciting and cutting-edge research projects
• Intensive and interdisciplinary supervision by project leaders and methodological experts
• Integration into a structured, tailor-made PhD and qualification program
• Collegial collaboration in interdisciplinary and international teams

Osnabrück University is a family-friendly university and is committed to helping working/studying parents balance their family and working lives.

Osnabrück University seeks to guarantee equality of opportunity for women and men and strives to correct any gender imbalance in its schools and departments.

If two candidates are equally qualified, preference will be given to the candidate with disability status.

Please send applications indicating the desired project cluster with the usual documents (curriculum vitae, certificates including transcripts of records, letter of motivation) in electronic form to the coordinator of the initiative, Prof. Dr. Jacob Piehler, by August 31, 2023, Email: [email address].

We look forward to receiving your application.
