of chemical biology, bioorganic chemistry or synthetic biology.
Ideally, you are engaged in the design and synthesis of
light-responsive molecular functionalities, enabling
spatio-temporal control of biological processes. Approaches may
involve the synthetic incorporation of artificial photoswitches or
bio-derived light-addressable moieties into proteins,
oligonucleotides, other biologically active compounds, or
engineered photoswitchable proteins. Exemplary research areas cover
the development and biointegra-tion of novel photoswitches with
improved properties, light-control of cellular functions and
photopharmacological applications. You show commitment to
participate in research networks and cooperations within and
outside TU Dortmund University, especially in CRC initiatives of
the department. You are willing to acquire third-party funds, are
committed to promoting early career researchers and participate
appropriately in the teaching activities of the department. The

the dissemination of your research in the field of the
professorship through international publications in recognized
peer-reviewed journals. Experience in obtaining competitively
