Join the Biomolecular Nano-Dynamics Group!

We are looking for talented & motivated team members who share our enthusiasm for biomolecular dynamics at the nanoscale. 

For PhD students, we have three opportunities open since July, 2025:

In each case, candidates are requested to use the online application system as described.

 

Postdoctoral researchers intersted in joining the team are welcome to contact sonja.schmid@unibas.ch to discuss their project plans: please, include your CV, a motivation letter stating how your experties align with your project ideas, and 2-3 reference contacts (email & phone number).

 

MSc thesis projects are available for local students from Basel, while we do occasionally host excellent students from other universities (no salaries are paid).

  • Single-molecule kinetics extracted from FRET traces (computational comparison plus experiments)
  • DyeCycling to overcome photo-bleaching in single-molecule FRET (e.g. reversible binder evaluation, fluorogenic probes, nanophotonics)
  • Nanopore sensing of CRISPR second messengers
  • Label-free protein trapping using nanopores

Interested MSc students are welcome to contact sonja.schmid@unibas.ch: please state which project you are interested in and for what reason.
