Stellen und Praktikanten
We are looking for students and researchers at all levels: internships and BSc/MSc theses, PhDs and Postdocs. If your background is in chemical biology, organic synthesis, cell biology, biochemistry, or pharmaceutical sciences, you can find a match with our group's research program.
To apply: see our General Application Procedures.
Spontaneous PhD/Postdoc applications
Strong spontaneous applications from PhD/Postdoc candidates who are genuinely interested in our research and have appropriate skills are always welcome. A scholarship application may be needed to support you for the longer term; so be prepared: make contact early, and know your realistic funding options and their timelines for application and review.
Hiring: 2 PhDs from Q2/Q3 2026
We are opening organic synthesis and chemical biology PhD positions on topics including:
(1) "next-gen" optically-controlled bioactive reagents to study and manipulate biology;
(2) redox-active chemical probes, prodrugs, and tool compounds, for thiol/selenol oxidoreductases;
(3) (photo)chemical methods advances for in vivo optical imaging and light/materials interactions.
All these projects require strong practical and theoretical backgrounds either in synthetic organic chemistry, or in biochemistry and cell biology. Extra experience in chemical biology, biochemistry, med chem etc will be helpful to get off to a good start, but those aspects can also be picked up during the PhD. Especially if you prefer solving conceptual challenges rather than running incremental research, you will find a great place in our group!
Internships (MSc, BSc, & Praktika during studies) in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, & Medicine (Dr. med.)
We welcome internships in Chemistry, Biology, Pharmacy, and Biochemistry, as well as for Dr. med. thesis research.
Students are exposed to a wide range of skills in their field and beyond, and are assigned their own sub-projects in frontier research. If you enjoy the opportunity to grow beyond your studies, you will find an exciting environment with us, where you can build your independence while learning new skills in chemical biology, synthesis, microscopy, cell biology, biochemistry, photochemistry, and pharmacology.
