2 PhD positions in Optical and Molecular Physics (f/m)
(Code number 12/2018)

The Department of Optical Nanoscopy (Prof. Dr. Stefan W. Hell) invites applications for 2 Ph.D. positions in optical and molecular physics.

New concepts have brought about a paradigm shift in the physical limits to optical analysis of molecular systems. Imaging resolutions of a few nanometers have been demonstrated, well beyond the Abbe/ Rayleigh limits. The recently demonstrated MINFLUX concept (Science 355, 606-612 (2017)) outlines a path to further improved minimally invasive, low-light-level analysis, in principle down to Ångström length scales. This will open up entirely new experimental opportunities in the study of macromolecules and beyond.

The successful candidates will develop physical measurement schemes based on MINFLUX and related concepts to analyze molecular systems at highest resolution.

Candidates should be highly motivated and prepared to work within a truly multidisciplinary team. They should have (or expect to complete soon) a Masters degree in Physics or Physical Chemistry or a comparable qualifi cation. A willingness to master challenges in optical design, computer-driven experimental control and data analysis and, crucially, in-depth study of a problem by critical thinking and dedicated physical simulation are all central to success.

The payment is based on the TVöD guidelines ("Promotionsfördervertrag"). The PhD positions are limited to three years with a possibility of extension. Candidates have the opportunity to participate in one of several Ph.D. programs in Heidelberg. Opportunities may also arise from becoming part of one of the newly established Max Planck Schools with a competitive admission process.

At the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, one of the 83 institutes of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science, physicists, chemists and biologists create knowledge of long-term relevance to life and basic medical sciences.

The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualifi ed individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.


For further information, please contact Prof. Dr. Stefan W. Hell (hell-offi ce@mpibpc.mpg.de).

For general questions, please contact Mrs. Höfer-Elfner (0049 6221 486 – 311) or Ms. Sabrina Giacalone (0049 6221 486 – 305) from human resources.

Please submit your application, including a cover letter (explaining background and motivation), your CV and complete transcripts via e-mail as a single PDF fi le with the above reference preferably until September 30, 2018 (excellent applications will be considered year-round).
