About this position
Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences is recruiting 2 PhD students for the European LipAgg MSCA Doctoral Network in the field of analysis of amyloid protein-lipid aggregates. The positions are based in the Department of NMR-based Structural Biology and focus on how amyloid protein-lipid complexes contribute to pathological aggregation, cellular toxicity, and intercellular spread.
Possible projects include structural characterisation of α-synuclein-lipid complexes and NMR structure of AP-L complex of hIAPP and its effect on fibrils and membranes. The structure-determination aspects are supervised by Christian Griesinger at the MPI-NAT.
The post is aimed at candidates with a Master’s degree (MSc or equivalent) in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, or biophysics, and a solid background or strong interest in NMR-based structure elucidation and preparation of biologically relevant samples. Applicants should be ready for interdisciplinary training, hands-on work with state-of-the-art methods, collaboration with academic and industry partners, and a research stay at an external laboratory.
Funding: PhD funding is provided for 36 months.
Application materials: CV including methodological skills, motivation letter, copy of Master’s degree or proof of expected completion, master thesis if available, all academic transcripts, and contact information for at least two references.
Deadline: apply until 17 May 2026.
More information is available on the institute jobs page, and applications are sent to the project-specific email address for the chosen project.
