In close collaboration with the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), this project focuses on investigating forces generated by neuronal model cells during synaptic activity. Your work will involve biophysical experiments using optical microscopy and traction force microscopy, data analysis, development of theoretical models, and preparation of results for presentations and scientific publications.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate who
holds a Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in physics, biophysics, physical chemistry, or a closely related field with a grade point average of 2.5 or better (German grading system),
has solid experience in experimental and laboratory work,
is proficient in programming and data analysis (e.g., in Python, MATLAB, or similar),
shows a genuine interest in tackling complex scientific problems with innovative and creative approaches,
has prior experience or a strong motivation to work in one or more of the following areas: traction force microscopy, optical microscopy, or cell biophysics,
is fluent in English (both written and spoken), with the ability to communicate effectively in an international research environment.
What we offer:
A dynamic, international, and interdisciplinary research environment that fosters collaboration and innovation
The opportunity to work in state-of-the-art laboratories equipped with cutting-edge instruments
Personalized, high-quality supervision within a supportive and experienced research team
Structured training and development opportunities to support your scientific growth and long-term career advancement
To apply for this position, please send your application documents to sarah.koester@uni-goettingen.de as a single PDF file including items in this order: cover letter, CV, list of publications, summary of relevant previous work (maximum one page), certificates and transcripts of previous degrees (B.Sc., M.Sc.) as well as two names of senior researchers, who are willing to provide reference letters. Please submit your application by May 12, 2026.
If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Dr. Sarah Köster (sarah.koester@uni-goettingen.de). For more information about the research group, please visit the institute webpage: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/91107.html.

The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply as they are underrepresented in the field. The university has committed itself to being a family-friendly institution and supports their employees in balancing work and family life. The mission of the University is to employ a greater number of severely disabled persons. Applications from severely disabled persons with equivalent qualifications will be given preference.
