The Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry is one of the largest 
institutes of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science and 
conducts basic research to advance knowledge and benefit society. Innovative
projects and interdisciplinary cooperation characterize research within the 
Max Planck Society.

The Department of Theoretical and Computational Biophysics (Prof. Dr. Helmut
Grubmuller) invites applications for a position as PhD Student or Postdoc 
(f/m/d) for the projects:

THEORY AND ALGORITHMS FOR STRUCTURE DETERMINATION FROM
A) ULTRAFAST SINGLE MOLECULE X-FEL DIFFRACTION
B) FLUCTUATION-CORRELATION X-RAY SCATTERING

The aim of both projects is to develop Bayesian or Deep Learning methods to 
obtain high-resolution molecular structures and dynamics from sparse and 
noisy experimental data. 
More details: www.mpibpc.mpg.de/9660732/SM-Ultrafast-XRay-Diffraction

The successful candidate for either position has a keen interest and 
strong skills in computational molecular physics and probability theory/
machine learning, and a strong interest in interdisciplinary research and 
collaboration with experimental groups.

PhD candidates hold (or expect to complete soon) a Masters or equivalent 
degree; Postdocs hold a PhD or equivalent degree in any of these or a 
related field. PhD students will have the opportunity to participate in 
one of several available PhD programs, with four years funding, in 
collaboration with the University of Gottingen. Masters students aiming
at a fast track PhD are also welcome. The Postdoc position is limited to 
two years with a possibility of extension.

Payment and benefits are based on the TVoD (wage agreement for the public 
sector) guidelines. The starting date is flexible.

The group language is English, so no German language skills are required 
but its a great opportunity for you to learn German! The Max Planck 
Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with 
disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from 
such qualified individuals.

Interested? Submit your application (please state job code 18-20) including
cover letter (explaining background and motivation), CV, transcripts, and 
publication record preferably via E-mail as one single PDF to
