About this position

Master Thesis Opportunity at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Institute of Bio- and Geosciences - Biotechnology (IBG-1), in the Microscale Bioengineering research group.

This thesis focuses on the development of a microfluidic system for single-cell analysis of photoautotrophic organisms. The project combines microfluidics, CAD design, chip fabrication, experimental testing, live-cell microscopy, and computer-assisted image analysis using deep learning methods. Students will contribute from the initial concept stage through prototyping, validation, and optimization within the “1+1=1” research project.

The role is especially suitable for students in bioprocess engineering, biotechnology, microsystems engineering, or related engineering disciplines who are interested in practical development work and interdisciplinary research. Helpful background includes microfluidics, microscopy, single-cell analysis, biotechnology, and CAD. Strong English skills at B2 CEFR level or higher are required.

Location: Jülich, Germany. Deadline: 2026-11-12. Funding: appropriate remuneration for the thesis is offered, but no amount is stated.

Apply online via the job posting link. For questions, use the contact form or the career portal links provided in the post.
