Postdoc Positions

>> Currently open: Postdoc (f, m, d) in the project on multimodal imaging of biological matter

We welcome more advanced young researchers in our group and are happy to share the excellent infrastructure. If you are a postdoc with your own funding or willing to apply for your own funding, please contact us. Likewise, in case you would like to start you own independent junior research group with secured funding (e.g. ERC Starting Grant, Emmy Noether Fellowship of the DFG or similar) please contact us, so we can discuss the possibilities we can offer in Göttingen.
