Saarbrücken, Saarland, Deutschland INM - Leibniz-Institut für Neue Materialien gGmbH Vollzeit


Postdoctoral Researcher in Engineered Living Materials and Synthetic Biology (F/M/D)

The INM-Leibniz Institute for New Materials is a premier institution dedicated to pioneering research in materials science, focusing on innovative solutions that address sustainability challenges in an increasingly digital and medical landscape. Our work merges materials chemistry, biological processes, physical analysis, and engineering to lead advancements in opto-interactive, electro-integrative, and bio-intelligent material systems. We actively pursue opportunities to translate our scientific findings into impactful innovations.

Position Overview

The Materials Synthetic Biology group, led by Prof. Wilfried Weber, is offering several positions for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Engineered Living Materials and Synthetic Biology (F/M/D) as part of an ERC Advanced Grant initiative.

In this role, you will leverage principles of synthetic biology to create and implement strategies for programming living materials, enabling them to interact dynamically with their surroundings. The objective is to design materials that can adapt seamlessly to both internal and external conditions, presenting a wide range of application possibilities. You will be part of an international and interdisciplinary team with extensive expertise in materials-oriented synthetic biology, fostering collaboration and synergy among team members and projects, supported by robust infrastructure.

Your Qualifications
  • PhD with substantial experience in microbiology, molecular biology, or biomaterials.
  • Master's degree in biology, materials science, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, or a related field.
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas:
    • (Engineered) bacterial biofilms or communities.
    • Synthetic gene networks in bacterial or mammalian cells.
    • Hydrogel-based materials serving as extracellular matrices.
  • Depending on your background, various postdoctoral roles may be applicable.
  • Ideally, familiarity and interest in automated, multi-parallel experimental designs with data-driven optimization.
  • Strong analytical skills, interdisciplinary mindset, meticulous attention to detail, and the capability to manage complex projects with both internal and external collaborators.
What We Offer
  • A contract at TV-L 100% E13 level, with a duration until September 30, 2027.
  • A vibrant, interdisciplinary, and international team committed to achieving project objectives.
  • A collaborative environment with numerous opportunities for interaction with other researchers, both within and outside the institute.
  • Access to newly equipped laboratories featuring cutting-edge infrastructure.
  • Opportunities for training aimed at enhancing research quality and advancing your professional skills.
  • A supportive environment that encourages participation and self-directed development.
  • Membership in the Leibniz network, fostering creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
