PhD Positions in Biophysics in Denmark

University Medical Center Utrecht is offering a fully funded PhD project in the interface between biophysics and cellular immunology within the Center for Translational Immunology’s Computational Immunology Cluster and the Vorselen Lab. The doctoral researcher will develop image-analysis pipelines to investigate cellular forces during phagocytosis and examine the activity of therapeutic cytotoxic T cells. The project combines immune assays, high-resolution fluorescence imaging, programming and q...

This PhD project in the Vorselen Lab at University Medical Center Utrecht focuses on the biophysics of cellular immunity . The research explores how mechanical forces regulate immune function, with particular attention to how cells receive physical information and how cellular forces shape immune processes in health and disease. You will work on developing new technologies and analysis approaches to study immune cell mechanics. A major part of the project is building new analysis pipelines to in...

The Brain Signaling and Neurolipids Lab at the Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) in Barcelona is recruiting a PhD student to work at the interface of molecular simulation, membrane biophysics and machine learning. The project investigates how the lipid composition of neuronal membranes influences the behaviour of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a major receptor family involved in neuronal communication and one of the most important drug-target families in the brain. ...

Students in PIP pursue PhD projects within a broad set of research environments. In Physics , the programme spans environmental physics, remo...

The Institute for X-ray Physics at the University of Göttingen is offering two Ph.D. positions in coherent X-ray optics and advanced imaging. The doctoral projects address the development, implementation and application of X-ray optics and new imaging methods using partially coherent X-ray radiation. Research may involve experiments at synchrotron and free-electron laser facilities, as well as laboratory micro-computed tomography sources. Depending on the candidate’s profile and interests, the w...

Justus Liebig University Giessen is seeking a doctoral researcher in Experimental Space Biology and Biophysics to join an externally funded research project associated with Exocube, an experiment selected by the European Space Agency for the ExoBio platform on the exterior of the International Space Station. The project investigates biological and molecular systems under real space and radiation conditions, with particular emphasis on the activation, growth, stress responses, and survival of sel...

PhD Candidate in Immunophysics at the Chair of Mathematics in Life Science at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Division of Immunophysics at the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine. The research environment uses statistical physics, complex-systems approaches, and mathematical modeling to investigate emerging problems in biology and medicine. Potential research directions include infections associated with bacterial biofilms, autoimmunity, and autoinflammation, wit...

Osnabrück University is recruiting a PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher as a Research Associate for an interdisciplinary project in immunology and mechanobiology. The project, “Cyclic Mechanical Forces Sustain Cytotoxic Immune Competence,” explores how physiological mechanical forces encountered during circulation and breathing help preserve cytotoxic immune function. The research focuses on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells, which are essential for immune survei...
