PhD Opportunities in Biophysics in Ireland

Professor Bart Hoogenboom’s lab at University College London is welcoming new team members for a postdoctoral vacancy and funded PhD positions. The research focuses on using advanced atomic force microscopy to investigate bacterial surfaces and industrial filtration membranes. This work brings together biophysics, microscopy, bacterial cell biology, and materials science to examine the structure and properties of complex biological and industrial membrane systems. Researchers joining the lab wil...

This doctoral project focuses on developing an affordable optical system for measuring six hormones in urine at home on a daily basis. The work sits at the intersection of biophysics and biotechnology , combining sample preparation, analytical validation and detection-system development. The student will work within the Hormones Project , which is funded by KTH InspireLab and jointly led by three research leaders at AlbaNova and SciLifeLab . The project aims to move hormone measurement beyond th...

Graduate School of Quantitative and Molecular Biosciences Munich (QMB) is a structured doctoral programme based at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and run in cooperation with Technical University Munich, Helmholtz Center Munich, and the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry Munich. The programme focuses on quantitative approaches to molecular biosciences, aiming to move beyond the study of single genes and proteins toward the analysis of large molecular machines, cellular pathways, and bi...

The GGNB Physics of Biological & Complex Systems programme is an international PhD research school at the University of Göttingen, run in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences (MPI-NAT) and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organisation (MPI-DS). The programme focuses on the quantitative and molecular understanding of life processes at the interface of physics, chemistry, and the life sciences. Doctoral researchers can work on topics such as biomol...

PhD position in Mechanoreceptors & Sensory Biophysics at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich. The project investigates novel protein agonists of the human sweet taste receptor, combining AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy with computational and AI-guided protein design. The research explores how membrane proteins contribute to taste perception and how new molecular tools can be developed to modulate receptor activity. The doctoral resear...

Osnabrück University is recruiting a PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher as a Research Associate to join an interdisciplinary team working at the interface of immunology and mechanobiology . The project, “Cyclic Mechanical Forces Sustain Cytotoxic Immune Competence,” examines how physiological mechanical forces encountered during circulation and breathing help maintain cytotoxic immune function. The research focuses on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells, which play...
