PhD Position Available in Single Molecule Biophysics Lab
Join Our Cutting-Edge Research Team!
Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of science? Do you want to explore the complexities of biological processes at the molecular level? We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our dynamic research group in Single Molecule Biophysics.
Project Overview: In this project, you will use advanced biophysical techniques to study the behavior of individual molecules, providing unprecedented insight into cellular processes. You will explore topics such as membrane biophysics more specifically membrane topography and domains, immunological signaling, protein folding, allosteric signaling in proteins, DNA/RNA interactions with small molecules, and other key biological mechanisms in health and disease.
Research Focus:
Super-resolution optical microscopy
Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy
Single-molecule FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer)
Real-time measurements of biomolecular interactions
Candidate Requirements:
A strong background in physics, chemistry, biology, or related fields
A valid NET or GATE qualification
Previous experience with laboratory techniques (e.g., microscopy, spectroscopy) is a plus but not mandatory
Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and an eagerness to learn
Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Why Join Us?
Access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and equipment
A vibrant, interdisciplinary research environment with opportunities for collaboration
