1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Göttingen is one of the world’s leading research institutions in the field of solar physics and planetary research with around 300 employees. The interdisciplinary research focus is the investigation of the development, diversity and dynamics of planets, moons, small bodies, the sun and solar-like stars. The MPS develops and operates scientific instruments for current and future space missions (e.g. ESA, NASA), and carries out cosmochemical laboratory investigations of meteorites as well as numerical modeling on state-of-the-art supercomputers.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project group “Translational Deep Phenotyping” explores and validates biomarkers that identify and predict disease severity and treatment response in schizophrenia spectrum disorders and depression. This approach enhances the comprehension of mental illness pathophysiology through a highly interdisciplinary, integrative, and multimodal approach. We utilize multi-omics techniques, functional (epi)genomic approaches, and integrate phenotypic imaging, electrophysiology, and clinical data in our research. Moreover, patient-specific iPSCs data enrich our approach of translational deep phenotyping. Finally, as a translational research group, we conduct diagnostic studies in clinical settings to bridge the translational gap and test and apply our tools in clinical practice.

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The postdoctoral research project will focus on developing a molecular-level understanding of the ultrafast energy, charge, and mass transfer processes that occur following photoexcitation of (bio)chemically relevant aqueous solutions. These processes will be studied using time- and energy-resolved liquid-jet photoemission spectroscopy techniques, employing modern laser-laboratory- and accelerator-based ionizing radiation sources. The research will primarily be performed at the state-of-the-art, ultrashort-pulse extreme ultraviolet and soft-X-ray laser facilities (ULLAS and LIDUX) at the Wannsee campus of HZB, where a range of high harmonic generation beamlines and liquid jet spectrometers are in operation.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our research collectively examines the processes and structures by which people grappled with the materiality of existence. Through the analysis of everyday actions, we interrogate the boundaries and intersections between the inner workings of objects and all domains of life. Together these approaches allow us to pursue inquiries into historical epistemologies of action.
Application Deadline: July 15, 2024
5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
One of the major aims of the Bioprocess Engineering group is the optimization of cell culture-based production processes for viral vectors in bioreactors. Viral vectors offer several options for genetic modifications which results in a large versatility with respect to medical treatment opportunities in animals and humans. For instance, propagation-incompetent viral vectors are being used for vaccination approaches. In addition, transgenic viruses that are able to transfer a gene to individuals can be used to ameliorate or cure diseases. Some of these viral vectors applicable for gene therapy are already approved for use in humans.

6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Machine Learning and Systems Biology headed by director Dr. Karsten Borgwardt is seeking a Postdoctoral research fellow (f/m/d). Scientists in the Department of Machine Learning and Systems Biology develop and apply novel machine learning algorithms to detect patterns and statistical dependencies in large datasets from biology and medicine. Machine learning on graphs, machine learning in medicine and machine learning in protein research are current and future foci of the department. We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher (m/f/d) to join an enthusiastic and collaborative team in an outstanding scientific environment.
Application Deadline: June 16, 2024
7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics as an institute of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (registered association) is the largest centre for fusion research in Europe with about 1100 employees in Garching near Munich and Greifswald. The scientists are investigating the physical principles for a fusion power plant which – like the sun – generates energy from the fusion of light atomic nuclei. The research is carried out in seven experimental and theoretical projects aimed at developing nuclear fusion into an inexhaustible and safe source of energy for the future.
Application Deadline: 16.06.2024
8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This research aims to advance the efficient and sustainable formation of C-N and C-O bonds. Transition-metal catalysts are recognized for their transformative impact on bond creation due to their versatility with a broad spectrum of substrates and tolerance for various functional groups. This project seeks to build on these advancements by developing alternatives that prioritize atom economy. Our strategy involves the conception, design, and implementation of adaptive transition-metal catalysts. These catalysts respond uniquely to changes in reaction conditions by modulating their reactivity and selectivity. This adaptability allows for the exploration of novel reaction pathways and enhances control over chemical bond activation processes. Developing such catalysts is crucial for addressing issues of resource efficiency and environmental sustainability.

11. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We have recently developed ultra-rapid cryo-arrest of living cells directly during live-cell fluorescence microscopy (www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.abk0882), overcoming fundamental resolution barriers imposed by motional blur and photobleaching. This allows the imaging of dynamic processes before cryo-arrest in combination with precise determination of native molecular reaction patterns at multiple scales within the same cell under cryo-arrest.
