About this position

PhD opportunity in membrane–protein interactions and evolutionary molecular dynamics simulations at TU Dortmund, in the Department of Physics and the group of H. Jelger Risselada.

The project is theory/simulation-based biophysics and focuses on understanding how proteins modulate membrane structure and function at the molecular level. The work involves studying membrane–protein systems and implementing/modeling workflows related to evolutionary optimization strategies in coarse-grained heuristic spaces, including chemical space and amino acid space. The position also offers the possibility to become an associated member of the Resolv Excellence Cluster Ruhr area.

Degree level: PhD (3 years). Funding: first year salary at 65% E13 (TV-L).

Eligibility highlights: degree in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or a closely related field; strong interest and/or experience in biophysics, molecular simulations, and modeling; proficiency in Python; strong scientific reasoning; ability to work independently and collaboratively. Preferred: experience with molecular simulations and knowledge of statistical mechanics.

Deadline: open until 31 August 2026.

How to apply: send a CV, brief motivation letter, and contact details of at least one reference to jelger.risselada@tu-dortmund.de. Use the subject line “PhD Membrane–Protein Interactions (Evo MD)”.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
