PhD Position: Synthetic Cells that Transcribe: Active Transcriptional Condensates in DNA Protonuclei International PhD Programme Mainz, Institute of Molecular Biology in Germany

Andreas Walther at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is inviting applications for a PhD Researcher or Postdoc position in the ERC Advanced Grant project ProtoEco — Protoecologies between Artificial Cells and Mammalian Cells . The project asks bold interdisciplinary questions about whether synthetic cells can live, communicate, and cooperate with mammalian cells, whether ecologies can be built from such systems, and what emergent properties and therapeutic concepts may arise in the biomaterials...

PhD Researcher Positions are open in the ERC Advanced Grant project ProtoEco: Protoecologies between Artificial Cells and Mammalian Cells at the University of Mainz in Germany, led by the Walther Lab and associated with the Max Planck Research Fellow Group at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. The project explores artificial cells , synthetic biology , biomaterials , DNA nanoscience , polymer gels , systems chemistry , enzymatic reaction networks , cell biology , biointerfaces , and ...

The International PhD Programme (IPP) Mainz and the Institute of Molecular Biology invite applications for a fully funded PhD position in the research group of Edward Lemke. The project, titled High Resolution Fluorescence Imaging of Protein Plasticity , focuses on the behavior of intrinsically disordered proteins in higher eukaryotes and their roles in vital cellular processes such as transcription, nuclear transport, and healthy ageing. The work addresses an important and still poorly understo...

PhD opportunity at the Technical University of Munich in the Boekhoven lab for a project at the intersection of peptide chemistry , synthetic biology , and supramolecular chemistry . The position focuses on designing and engineering peptides and proteins that self-assemble into functional nano-machines such as motors and pumps for synthetic cells. The lab environment offers access to in-house peptide synthesis and characterization infrastructure, with a collaborative, interdisciplinary setting s...

Postdoctoral Researcher positions are available in the ERC Advanced Grant project ProtoEco: Protoecologies between Artificial Cells and Mammalian Cells at the Walther Lab, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, with close connection to the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. The project explores how life-like artificial or synthetic cells can coexist, communicate, and cooperate with mammalian cells in structured 2D and 3D environments. The broader goal is to create biohybrid micro-...
