PhD Student in Molecular Life Sciences and Advanced Imaging | PhD Student (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role offers a unique opportunity to conduct independent doctoral research at the intersection of molecular life sciences and quantitative imaging within the DFG Research Training Group iMOL. Based at the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences in Frankfurt, the successful candidate will develop and apply cutting-edge microscopy techniques, including light and cryo-electron microscopy, alongside AI-driven image analysis. The position is highly interdisciplinary, requiring collaboration with physicists, biologists, and computer scientists to investigate molecular principles across various scales. What makes this position particularly attractive is the structured training program, which includes international winter schools, workshops, and access to state-of-the-art facilities like the Frankfurt Centers for Advanced and Electron Microscopy. Candidates will benefit from a fully funded 36-month contract, generous research budgets, and a vibrant scientific network encompassing Max Planck Institutes and the FIAS.
