For students interested in semester or master’s projects exploring the highly interdisciplinary work of the lab, centered around the development of novel molecular imaging approaches, please contact Florian Schüder directly.
We are looking for up to two passionate and driven graduate students to join the lab as early as January 1st, 2026, to contribute to interdisciplinary projects centered around the lab’s focus as described above.
The ideal candidate is passionate about multiple — ideally all — of the following areas of research:
- Nanotechnology: Design of new DNA-based imaging probes and the use of DNA origami nanotechnology to benchmark newly developed probes.
- Biochemistry: Design, construction, and validation of novel binders for labeling and imaging cellular proteins, RNA, and DNA.
- Optics & Microfluidics: Development of custom microscopy setups and microfluidic systems to leverage the full potential of smart probe microscopy.
- Computation: Development of new workflows to analyze, interpret, and model the high-dimensional spatial omics data we acquire.
If you are interested, please send your CV, a brief statement of motivation, and ideally two references to Florian Schüder.
