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

Job Summary

This PhD student position at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences focuses on developing theories and methods for non-equilibrium and atomistic simulations of complex biomolecules. The successful candidate will engage in projects such as variational free energy methods, thermodynamics of solvation shells, or functional mechanisms of biomolecules like the ribosome or CRISPR/Cas. The role requires strong skills in computational molecular biophysics, statistical mechanics, and scientific computing, coupled with a keen interest in interdisciplinary research and collaboration with experimental groups. This is an excellent opportunity to conduct competitive research in a world-class environment with access to state-of-the-art high-performance computing facilities, while also benefiting from training opportunities and a supportive work-life balance.
