PhD Opportunities in Microscopy in Germany

The PhD project is based at the Erlangen Center for Interface Research and Catalysis (ECRC) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and is hosted in the group of Prof. Jörg Libuda. The research explores catalytic processes on real and model catalyst systems with a strong focus on understanding how modifiers, additives, and activation procedures influence highly selective (de)functionalization reactions. The core of the work is an experimental investigation of catalytic functio...

The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf is offering a PhD position in vesicle engineering and membrane protein biochemistry within the Translational Oncology group of Prof. Meike Saul at the II. Department of Medicine in Hamburg, Germany. The project focuses on expressing and purifying membrane proteins and reconstituting them into synthetic lipid vesicles. The engineered vesicles will be characterized for protein incorporation, surface presentation, and vesicle properties. Their cellula...

RWTH Aachen University is offering a PhD position in the Department of Biohybrid & Medical Textiles (BioTex), within the Institute of Applied Medical Engineering (AME). The project, ElastiCation , focuses on understanding how the molecular design and functionalisation of elastin-based biomaterials influence their susceptibility to calcification. The work is situated at the interface of biomaterials, tissue engineering, and cardiovascular research. The successful candidate will join the Biomateri...
