Exciting Opportunity: PhD Position in Biological Physics at Max Planck Institute, Germany

PhD Positions: The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen, Germany, invites applications for a Ph.D. position in Biological Physics within the independent research group led by Dr. David Zwicker on the "Theory of Biological Fluids." The successful candidate will engage in cutting-edge research focusing on the organization principles of liquid-like droplets in biological cells and broader inquiries in biological physics. This position offers an exceptional chance for early-career researchers to become part of a highly international and interdisciplinary research environment.

About Institute 

The Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization is an international research institute in Göttingen, Germany. It performs both experimental and theoretical fundamental scientific research and currently employs about 300 people.

For the independent research group "Theory of Biological Fluids" headed by Dr. David Zwicker seek to fill a Ph.D. position (m/f/d) in Biological Physics.

The research

The research group aims to understand how biological organisms organize soft material. They currently focus on the organization principles of liquid-like droplets in biological cells, but they are also interested in broader questions in biological physics. Their work generally combines analytical insight from simple systems with more detailed numerical simulations to unveil biological design principles. Additionally, they build tailored models to interpret experimental data of collaborators.

We offer multiple possible projects on these topics of theoretical biophysics. The successful candidate may also shape their own research direction.

Profile

The Max Planck Institute looking for an excellent, enthusiastic, and self-motivated early-career researchers with good communication skills to join our research team.

The Ph.D. candidate should have

A Master's degree (or comparable) in physics, applied mathematics, or related disciplines from a recognized university. For details please click the below link.
