Postdoctoral fellow (f/m/d) - Structural biology of human mitochondria -
About us
Our group is located at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and at the Max-Planck-Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen, Germany. Our research is aimed at understanding the mechanisms of gene expression systems outside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, such as those found in organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) or employed by viruses. To study these systems, we combine structural biology (single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, X-Ray crystallography and cryo-electron tomography) with biochemical, biophysical and cell biological approaches. For recent examples of our work, see PMID: 34489609, 34135319, 38428434, 39747487, 40050611 and 40240327.
We offer access to state-of-the art instrumentation for cryo-EM (including two 300 kV Titan Krios TEMs, a 200 kV Glacios TEM and two Aquilos 2 FIB-SEMs as well as correlative fluorescent and light microscopy devices), X-Ray crystallography and various modern biophysical techniques. Göttingen is a vibrant, international student town located in the center of Germany and, in addition to its university, is home to a number of renowned research institutes, which together form the Göttingen Research Campus.
Position details
The position is fixed term (2 years) and the salary will be in accordance to the German Public Sector Collective Agreement (TV-L). The earliest starting date is March 1st 2026. The UMG is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. We further strive for gender and diversity equality. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
How to apply
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. To apply, please submit a single PDF containing a short statement of motivation and previous experience, a CV, and the names and contacts of at least two references.

Your tasks
· Develop and apply cutting-edge structural biology approaches, in particular single-particle cryo-EM and cryo-electron tomography, to investigate the molecular biology of human mitochondria.
· Drive & develop your own research project in a collaborative team with close mentoring.
· Present & communicate research results at national and international scientific meetings.
Your qualifications
· Applicants should hold a PhD in the life sciences, chemistry, physics or a related discipline or expect to be awarded a PhD by the time of starting the position.
· Previous experience in structural biology (both experimentally in single-particle cryo-EM, cryo-electron tomography or X-Ray crystallography and/or computationally) is a strong bonus, as the project will require development of new approaches.
· Fluent English language skills (written and spoken) are required.
We offer
· High-impact research field with biomedical relevance.
· Small, international and diverse research group with a strong team spirit and an open-minded, collaborative and respectful working atmosphere.
· Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure & hands-on training in latest methods in structural biology & molecular biology methods.
