University of Osnabrück
Osnabrück, Germany
Vollzeit
Reference: 1393489709
12 Research Assistants (m/f/d)
(Pay Scale 13 TV-L, 65%)
The DFG-funded Research Training Group RTG-2900 " nanomaterials@biomembranes " at Osnabrück University is seeking to appoint 12 PhD positions to commence work on October 1 st , 2026. The positions are limited until Decmber 31 st , 2029.
The research projects of " nanomaterials@biomembranes " focus on the interdisciplinary development of new methods to follow molecular processes on biological membranes with highest spatial and temporal resolution. To this end, nanomaterials are to be specifically synthesized and integrated into surface architectures in such a way that they can be used for spectroscopic and microscopic investigations of biological membranes with sensitivities in the single-molecule range. To this end, the 14 research projects of the Research Training Group are organized into four interdisciplinary project clusters:
Further information on the project clusters and the individual research projects can be found on the website of the RTG 2900 .

We offer:
Osnabrück University is a family-friendly university and is committed to helping working parents balance their family and working lives.
Osnabrück University is committed to equal opportunities, diversity, and the professional equality of the genders. We promote a culture of science and work that enables fair opportunities and a discrimination-free environment for learning, teaching, and working. In doing so, we strive for fair representation of all social groups among our staff and work to counteract underrepresentation.
Applications from people with severe disabilities and those treated as equivalent under applicable law will be given preferential consideration where candidates are equally qualified.
Please send applications indicating the desired project cluster with the usual documents (curriculum vitae, certificates incl. transcripts of records, letter of motivation) and your application profile , in electronic form to the speaker of the initiative, Prof. Dr. Jacob Piehler, by June 30 th , 2026, Email: [email protected] .
We look forward to receiving your application.

To this end, the 14 research projects of the Research Training Group are organized into four interdisciplinary project clusters:
- Cluster PC-I - Energy-converting nanoparticles for interrogating protein and lipid dynamics at signalling complexes in the plasma membrane
- Cluster PC-II - Supramolecular surface architectures for directing and interrogating plasma membrane permeabilization and repair at nanoscale
- Cluster PC-III - Tailored ultrathin macroporous substrates for correlative structural-functional analyses of protein complexes in membranes
- Cluster PC-IV - Carbon nanomaterial-supported membranes for optical and electrical interrogation of membrane fusion machineries
