Postdoc Position: DNA Nanotechnology for De Novo Assembly of for Synthetic Cells

Category

Postdoctoral Researchers (m/f/d)

Research Group

Biophysical Engineering Group, Dr. Kerstin Göpfrich

Details of the project

Are you fascinated by the idea to build a synthetic cell from scratch? Would you like to work with DNA origami, lipid membranes, 3D printing, microfluidics, superresolution microscopy or high-speed AFM? Are you looking for a young and friendly, supportive and hard-working research group?

The independent Max Planck Research Group Biophysical Engineering aims to reconstruct synthetic cells and cell-like behavior from the bottom up. We are looking for highly motivated early-career researchers, in particular at post-doc level, with a strong quantitative background in physics, biophysics, chemical engineering, biotechnology or similar.

Requirements

• PhD degree in biophysics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering or a similar subject
• Experience in DNA nanotechnology / lipid membranes / microfluidics and/or atomic force microscopy, programming and quantitative data analysis
• Fluency in English in word and writing (German not required)

Interested? Find out more (www.goepfrichgroup.de) and get in touch via email (kerstin.goepfrich(at)mr.mpg.de) with your CV, publication list, your interests and contacts for two letters of reference. We are looking forward to hear from you!
