Beschreibung

TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation
and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent
university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their
achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

The
Chair of Spatiotemporal Organization of Subcellular Structures (Brugués Lab), at the
Cluster

of Excellence "Physics of Life" (PoL) offers a position as

Research Associate / Postdoc (M/F/x)

in Biophysics of intracellular structures
starting
as soon as possible. The position is initially limited to December 31, 2025 with the option of
extension. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act
(Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further
academic qualification.

We are an interdisciplinary Brugués lab that combines concepts and tools across cell biology,
biochemistry, and physics to discover the biophysical principles behind the self-organization of large
functional assemblies in cells. A particular focus of our research regards how active forces shape

- ), which is a new interdisciplinary research center dedicated to Biological Physics and
Quantitative Biology in the outstanding Dresden environment.

Tasks:
We seek independent, passionate, and motivated applicants for a Research Associate/Postdoc
position to (1) develop and improve measurement techniques to quantify physical and dynamical
properties of cellular structures in cells, and (2) study the biophysics of intracellular structures and
their function in living embryos and cell free extracts. The successful applicant will be in charge of
instrumentation development and biophysical measurements in the laboratory and have a leading
role in most of the activities in this area, as well as work in a collaborative manner with a highly
interdisciplinary group of researchers, including physicists, biologists and theorists. You are expected
to be involved in collaborations within PoL and the Max Planck Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics,
as well as with other neighboring institutes and international institutions.

Requirements:
a university and a PhD degree in Physics, Bioengineering or related fields, and
previous experience in instrumentation and/or advanced physical measurements, as well as a keen
interest in biological systems, are required. Previous experience in biophysics or soft-matter physics
will be considered positively. Previous postdoctoral experience in any of the abovementioned areas
