Postdoc position on studying intrinsically disordered proteins in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (fmd)

The Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) belongs to the Forschungsverbund Berlin e. V. (FVB). The FVB is an institution of seven natural sciences research institutes in Berlin funded by the Federal Republic of Germany and the association of its federal states. The research institutes are members of the Leibniz association.

The Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) in Berlin is a non-university research institute that conducts basic research in molecular pharmacology and provides a vibrant and collaborative environment with state-of-the-art facilities for research and employees from all over the world.

We are looking for a

Postdoc position on studying intrinsically disordered proteins in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (f/m/d)
(Ref 10/2025)

to join the group Integrated Structural Dynamics led by Dr. Sigrid Milles. The successful candidate will study the conformational dynamics and interactions of intrinsically disordered proteins involved in clathrin mediated endocytosis their relation to liquid-liquid phase separation and implications within the cell. The position is to be filled as soon as possible and initially limited to two years with the potential for extension.

The Milles lab ( uses and develops integrated single molecule fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy approaches to study intrinsically disordered proteins with the aim of understanding their conformational dynamics and interaction landscape and thus their way of function. Along with this we are also interested to discover the molecular mechanisms of liquid-liquid phase separation and membrane interactions.

Your profile:

We seek highly motivated ambitious and talented scientists to join an enthusiastic and collaborative team in an outstanding scientific environment to perform research. The successful candidates should have a biochemistry biophysics cell biology or related background and a strong interest in interdisciplinary work bridging between NMR and fluorescence spectroscopy in vitro and in-cell fluorescence imaging.

We offer:

An attractive environment in a pleasant friendly working atmosphere with an excellent infrastructure
Compensation in accordance with the public collective bargaining agreement (TVöD Bund) including the usual
social benefits i.e. 30 days of vacation annual bonus company pension plan with the Versorgungsanstalt des
Bundes und der Länder (VBL)
In-house support for Fellowship applications
Work-life balance (certified by Audit Beruf und Familie) as well as flexible working hours and the possibility of
mobile working
Health offers on campus (courses fitness center etc.)
Mobility offers such as job ticket campus bikes and Jelbi station on campus

We offer equal opportunities regardless of gender and welcome applications of disabled candidates. They will be preferred in case of equal qualification. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
