PhD Positions - Physics, Biology, and Chemistry

Job description

The International Helmholtz Research School of Biophysics and Soft Matter (IHRS BioSoft) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Universität zu Köln, and Forschungszentrum caesar Bonn offers positions for three-year PhD projects. Scientists in our institutes work in the areas of physics, chemistry, and biology, while the research school provides an in-depth training in biophysics and soft matter. A variety of experimental and theoretical tools enables PhD students to gain deeper understanding of structure, dynamics, and function of complex systems. Our complementary course programme reflects the increasing importance of interdisciplinary knowledge in research and provides comprehensive training opportunities in both scientific and transferable skills.

Topics for the PhD thesis can be selected from the following areas:
  • Complex Fluids
  • Supramolecular/Amphiphilic Self-Assembly
  • Colloid and Polymer Physics
  • Structural Biochemistry
  • Dynamics of Macromolecules
  • Molecular Biophysics
  • Receptor-Ligand Interactions
  • Cellular Signalling Pathways
  • Molecular Sensory Systems
  • Bioelectronics
  • Biomechanics
  • Artificial and Biological Membranes
  • Cellular Biophysics
Our institutes offer a large variety of state-of-the-art techniques:
  • Optical Spectroscopy
  • Microscopy Techniques
  • Light, Neutron, and X-Ray Scattering
  • Computer Simulations
  • NMR
  • Rheology
  • and many more

Desired skills and experience

The IHRS BioSoft is open to highly qualified and motivated applicants from all countries. Applicants should hold a master's or other degree comparable to a German university master's degree in chemical, biological, or physical sciences. The teaching language is English, sufficient command of the language is required for acceptance.
