PhD Student in Theoretical and Computational Biophysics | Physiker (m/w/d)

Job Summary

The Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences is seeking a highly motivated PhD Student to join the Department of Theoretical and Computational Biophysics. This role focuses on developing theory and methods for non-equilibrium theory and atomistic simulations of complex biomolecules. Potential research areas include variational free energy methods, Markovian thermodynamics, constant-pH simulation methods, or studying functional mechanisms of large biomolecular systems like the ribosome or CRISPR/Cas. The ideal candidate holds a Master's degree in physics, mathematics, or a related field, and possesses strong skills in computational molecular biophysics, statistical mechanics, and scientific computing. This position offers three years of funding, participation in a PhD program with the University of Göttingen, and the chance to conduct competitive research in a world-class, inspiring, and international environment, with English as the primary group language.
