Positions

Open Master's thesis projects - Warscheid Lab

Exciting Master's projects on the structural biology of peroxisomal import complexes and the functional analysis of peroxisomal diseases are currently being advertised in the group: Call for master theses WS 2025/26

We look forward to receiving applications!

PhD position Peroxisome Biogenesis and Proteostasis - Warscheid Lab

We are looking for a PhD student with an interest in mass spectrometry to study peroxisomal protein import.

The full call for applications can be found here.

Master and Bachelor Thesis - Böttcher Lab

e are accepting Bachelor and Master students. If you are interested please contact Bettina Böttcher.

We have many different projects, which involve different skills and methodologies.

  • Optimization of expression systems for the expression of large proteins

  • Development of purification protocols for endogenous and over expressed complexes

  • Electron microscopy and image processing for quality control of purified protein-complexes

  • Electron cryo microscopy of vitrified samples for structure determination

  • Image processing of electron microscopic data

  • Methods development in sample preparation for electron cryo microscopy… in particular targeting organic supramolecular complexes in none aqueous systems

  • Development and optimization of data acquisition schemes for electron cryo microscopy
 

 

Many of these projects involve collaborations with other groups or are interdisciplinary. Most projects are targeted for students with a background in Biochemistry. However, we also welcome students with a strong background in chemistry, physics and/or with programming skills for methods development and optimization of procedures.
