vor 24 Stunden


Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie Vollzeit

The Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) in Berlin is a world-renowned institution for conducting basic research in molecular pharmacology. As a leading non-university research institute, FMP provides a dynamic and collaborative environment with state-of-the-art facilities for research and employees from around the globe.

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD researcher in biophysics and computational biology to join our interdisciplinary research consortium based in Berlin, Kiel, and Hamburg. The selected candidate will be part of the research unit Structural Chemistry & Computational Biophysics, led by Prof. Han Sun.

The research focus is on investigating the gating mechanism of two-pore-domain potassium (K2P) channels using a combination of electrophysiology, solid-state NMR, cryo-electron microscopy, and large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The successful candidate will participate in the cryo-EM structural analysis and refinement of K2P channels and develop and apply a state-of-the-art molecular dynamics approach to study the gating dynamics of these channels.

We offer a stimulating environment within a pleasant and friendly working atmosphere, supported by excellent infrastructure. Employment with all benefits associated with the public service, including a salary based on the TVöD scale, which is approximately €55,000 - €65,000 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience. Opportunities to work with leading structural biologists and molecular physiologists from around the world, participation in first-class conferences and workshops, family services, and support for equal opportunities.

The successful candidate should possess a Master's degree in biophysics, chemistry, biology, or bioinformatics and have experience or a solid understanding of structural or computational biology. Candidates with additional experience in ion channels and transporters are strongly encouraged to apply.

The position is initially limited to 3 years for a PhD researcher, with the potential for extension. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and are committed to equal opportunities.

For more information, please visit our website or contact Prof. Han Sun at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie.

Apply online by sending your application including a motivation letter, CV, names and contacts of two references, and copies of degree certificates. The application deadline is January 31, 2025.
