2 PhD positions in Molecular Machines for EU researchers
MONALISA: MOtorised NAnomachines: fundamentaLs, InnovationS, Applications is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network (DN) that will provide world-class interdisciplinary training to Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in the area of molecular nanomachines.
Two positions in this area are available in our group at TUM, which will focus on
i) Realization of autonomous Brownian Rotors Based on DNA Origami (Job description DC3)
ii) Controlling enzymatic reactions with externally driven DNA machines (Job description DC4)
Requirements: The projects will involve DNA origami design, chemical modification of DNA, biochemical chacterization, single-molecule fluorescence and other biophysical experiments. Successful candidates ideally have a physics/biophysics or chemistry/biochemistry background who are exceptionally strong in (bio)physical experimentation, statistical physics and data analysis, and who are capable of working in a wet lab.
As this is a European MSCA project, candidates are required to fulfil the following additional mobility rule:
At the time of first recruitment by the host organisation (TUM), researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organisation (Germany) for more than twelve months in the three years immediately before the reference date.
Expected start of the project: autumn 2025
Application deadline: June, 6th, 2025
Interested candidates should send their application to simmel(at)tum.de with MONALISA in the reference line.
