PhD Candidate in Super-Resolution Microscopy | PhD Student (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This doctoral position at the Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology (ITMP) in Göttingen focuses on the application of cutting-edge MINFLUX microscopy to study mitochondrial protein transport. As a PhD student, you will be responsible for tracking singly labeled cargo proteins in living cells using 3D MINFLUX technology, establishing protein labeling techniques, and performing in vitro protein assembly. You will work within an interdisciplinary and international team, collaborating closely with clinicians and industry partners to validate super-resolution imaging for drug discovery. The role offers a unique opportunity to conduct application-oriented research at the intersection of biology and advanced physics, providing access to world-class facilities through partnerships with the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute. This position is ideal for a highly motivated researcher looking to contribute to pioneering scientific publications while benefiting from flexible working hours and a structured professional development program.
