The Department of Theoretical and Computational Biophysics is inviting applications for a
PhD Student (f/m/d)
for the project "Microtubule nanomechanics and turnover under cell-like physical constraints"
supervised by Dr. Maxim Igaev. The three-year PhD project involves massively parallel, atomistic and coarse-grained modeling to study the dynamic and mechanic properties of microtubule filaments subject to external forces by space constraints or other cellular factors.
Your profile
Eligible candidates have strong basic skills in either or all of the following disciplines: computational (bio)physics, structural biology, statistical mechanics, and scientific computing. They hold (or expect to complete soon) a Master’s or equivalent degree in any of these or a related field. A keen interest in interdisciplinary research and collaboration with experimental groups is preferable.
What we offer
- A wide range of offers to help you balance work and family life: on-campus kindergarten places including vacation care, parent-child offices, etc.;
- Further training opportunities and free in-house language courses;
- Spacious campus cafeteria with a wide range of meals (including vegan/vegetarian ones);
