Jülich, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH Vollzeit
Join Our Team as a PhD Researcher in Cryo-STEM Method Development

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD researcher to join our team at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH. As a member of our interdisciplinary team, you will contribute to the development of novel methods for cryo-scanning transmission electron microscopy (cryo-STEM) imaging.

About the Project

In this project, you will work closely with experts in the development of methodologies in multidimensional STEM to explore new approaches for low-dose imaging at high contrast in cryo-EM. Your tasks will include developing novel methods for the application of STEM methods to biological specimens, operating high-resolution electron microscopes with ice-embedded biological samples, and performing image analysis to determine high-resolution cryo-EM structures of ice-embedded test specimens and in situ cellular samples.

Requirements
  • Master's degree in biophysics, biochemistry, molecular or cell biology, or a related field
  • Strong experimental skills in biophysics and molecular cell biology experiment design, including associated data analysis
  • Prior knowledge of structural biology and/or light / electron microscopy techniques is of great advantage
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work in an international and interdisciplinary team
What We Offer
  • The chance to work at one of the largest research centers in Germany with excellent scientific equipment and leading European computational resources
  • Direct access to high-level EM infrastructure at the Ernst Ruska-Centre, including cryo-microscopes
  • Access to outstanding wet-lab and sample preparation laboratories at the host institute
  • Working in a dynamic team of researchers with backgrounds in different disciplines across biology, chemistry, physics, and informatics
  • Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
  • The opportunity to participate on conferences and project meetings
  • Continuous professional supervision by your scientific supervisor
  • Extensive company health management
  • Targeted services for international employees
  • 30 days of annual leave and an attractive regulation for bridging days
  • Further development of your personal strengths through an extensive range of training courses
