Every position on this page is supervised by an iMOL principal investigator and connects advanced microscopy with quantitative image analysis. Each project has its own page with the scientific background, the tasks and the profile we are looking for. Positions are offered in two ways. The third cohort of the Research Training Group has one application deadline for all its projects, while individual positions in an iMOL group are filled as suitable candidates apply.

The official job advertisement for all iMOL positions is published on academics.com.

The projects of the third cohort will be published here shortly, each with its own project page. To apply, send a single PDF with a cover letter that names the project or projects you are applying for, a detailed CV, your academic transcripts and a description of your research interests and motivation to Prof. Dr. Achilleas Frangakis by 30 November 2026.

Applications for these two projects are reviewed as they arrive. Please send one PDF containing a cover letter that names the project you are applying for, your CV, your transcripts and the names of two referees to
