The position is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within the CRC 1286 “Quantitative Synaptology” until 30.06.2029. Within this project, and in a collaboration with the University Medical Center (UMG) Göttingen, we will investigate forces generated by neuronal model cells during synaptic activity. The tasks include biophysical experiments with cells using optical microscopy and traction force microcopy, as well as data analysis, development of theoretical models, and preparation of data for presentations and publications.
We are looking for a motivated candidate, who
Holds a University Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in physics, biophysics, physical chemistry or a related field with a GPA of 2.5 or better in the German grading system
Is skilled in experimental/laboratory work
Has good programming and data analysis skills
Is interested in finding innovative, creative solutions
Is experienced or at least strongly interested in one of the following fields: traction force microscopy, light microscopy, cell biophysics.
Is fluent in English
What we offer:
An international, interdisciplinary, flexible and motivating working environment
Work in the state-of-the-art laboratories
High-quality project supervision
Multiple training opportunities for career advancement.
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.
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 February 28, 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.
