Master and Bachelor Projects


We always have projects for students from Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science. Please email Prof. Gunnar Schröder at gu.schroeder@fz-juelich.de



PhD and Postdoc Positions


If you are interested in joining our group, please contact me to discuss potential opportunities.

Projects could be purely experimental, purely computational, method development or application, or a mixture.

Possible projects:

- Cryo-electron microscopy on amyloid proteins (fibrils and other aggregates) that are relevant to neurodegenerative diseases.

- Automated modeling techniques for building atomic models at intermediate resolution for cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography.

- Further developing our refinement software DireX.

- Development of new approaches for image classification in cryo-EM.
