About this position

Two PhD positions are available at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (Leibniz-FMP) in Berlin, Germany, in the Molecular Biophysics Research Unit led by Prof. Adam Lange.

The project focuses on the structure, dynamics, and function of membrane proteins, including potassium channels and rhomboid proteases, using solid-state NMR and cryo-EM. The post highlights access to a 1.2 GHz NMR spectrometer and a Titan Krios cryo-EM instrument, with additional emphasis on cell-free membrane protein expression.

Applicants should have a background in (bio)chemistry, (bio)physics, or a related discipline, and a strong interest in structural biology. Prior experience in protein expression/purification, NMR, or cryo-EM is beneficial but not mandatory.

The position is a 3-year initial contract with TVöD Bund compensation, 30 days vacation, a pension plan, and flexible/mobile working. The deadline is 30 November 2026, with a planned start in January 2027.

To apply, visit the FMP homepage, navigate to Stellenangebote/Jobs, open Ref. 08/2026, and use Apply online. Prepare a statement of research interest, CV, degree certificates, and two references.
