Doctoral Research Associate (PhD Student)

An interdisciplinary team of 13 scientists at the University of Münster has come together to advance the pharmacology and physiology of ion channels using innovative chemical tools. We are dedicated to training PhD students in the field of chemical biology and supporting their development into skilled, independent, and internationally minded scientists. The Molecular Reproductive Physiology group, led by Timo Strünker, explores the fascinating molecular mechanisms that control human sperm function and, thereby, the fertilization process. Our research focuses on the physiology and pharmacology of ion channels, employing cutting-edge techniques such as electrophysiology, advanced fluorometric imaging (Ca²⁺, pH, membrane potential), and state-of-the-art microscopy. Join us to advance our understanding of ion channel physiology in a dynamic, supportive, and international environment.
