This PhD position at the University of Graz, in collaboration with the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, offers a unique opportunity to advance the understanding of membrane biophysics through the integration of mesoscale membrane dynamics into the analysis of lipid vesicles. Lipid vesicles serve as essential model systems for both membrane biophysics and drug delivery research, yet conventional small-angle scattering (SANS/SAXS) techniques often fail to capture the critical mesoscale dy...

A 6-year postdoctoral position is available in the group of Associate Professor Dagmar Woebken at the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science (CeMESS), University of Vienna, Austria. The research focuses on understanding how microbes survive and remain active in arid desert environments, with a particular emphasis on the survival and resuscitation of desert soil bacteria. This position is connected to the European Research Council (ERC) project WinMicAct. The successful candida...
