Joint Postdoctoral Position in Acoustic Vesicle Loading and Membrane Biophysics Heidelberg University in Germany

Postdoctoral Researcher Positions are open in the ERC Advanced Grant project ProtoEco: Protoecologies between Artificial Cells and Mammalian Cells at the University of Mainz / Walther Lab, with links to the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. The project explores how artificial/synthetic cells can coexist, communicate, and cooperate with mammalian cells in structured 2D and 3D environments. Research themes include artificial cells , synthetic biology , DNA nanotechnology , systems chemist...

Postdoctoral opening at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany, in the newly established Phase Transition Engineering group led by Dr. Leif-Thore Deck . The project focuses on biomolecular phase transitions with an emphasis on proteins and peptides : liquid-liquid phase separation, aggregation, amyloid formation, and crystallization. The work combines droplet microfluidics , fluorescence microscopy, bulk assays, theory/modeling, and process-scale...

The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf is offering a PhD position in vesicle engineering and membrane protein biochemistry within the Translational Oncology group of Prof. Meike Saul at the II. Department of Medicine in Hamburg, Germany. The project focuses on expressing and purifying membrane proteins and reconstituting them into synthetic lipid vesicles. The engineered vesicles will be characterized for protein incorporation, surface presentation, and vesicle properties. Their cellula...

The International Max Planck Research School – Physics and Medicine (IMPRS-PM) is a doctoral programme at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin in Erlangen, Germany. It is organised in collaboration with Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) , Universitätsklinikum Erlangen (UKER) , and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) . The programme is designed to train researchers at the interface of physics and medical research . It offers a structured graduate...

This postdoctoral project focuses on self-assembled magnetic microrobots designed to improve the transport of a thrombolytic agent, t-PA, toward blood clots in an in vitro stroke-related setting. The work addresses the challenge that clot obstruction limits drug diffusion, and seeks to combine propulsion, guidance, and controlled release in a microfluidic environment. The researcher will contribute to the development of an autopilot and steering system for the magnetic micro-swimmers, while also...
