At the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, we bridge the gap between basic research and translational, preclinical approaches. Here, researchers from the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine collaborate across disciplines, supported by high-performance service facilities and a modern research infrastructure. As the largest institute of the Max Planck Society with around 1,000 employees from over 66 nations, we offer an inspiring, international working environment with exceptional scientific breadth.
PhD candidates should hold/soon expect a MSc or equivalent degree in a relevant area of the life sciences. Initial experience in one or more of the following techniques is desired: protein biochemistry, mammalian cell biology, or any aspect of structural biology.
Postdoc candidates should hold/soon expect a PhD or equivalent degree in a relevant area of the life sciences. A strong published track record in one of the following techniques is desired: cryo- EM, cryo-ET or mammalian cell biology + high-resolution imaging. The successful candidates for either position should be curiosity-driven, creative, and passionate about science. A high degree of self-motivation and independence is important, as well as the ability to communicate well within an international, multidisciplinary team.
