The Group
The Lüddecke group investigates the functional and evolutionary biology of animal interactions by integrating zoology, molecular biology, and natural product research. The team focuses on understanding how bioactive molecules shape organismal interactions, how they evolve, and how they can be translated into drug leads, with a particular emphasis on animal venoms as model systems.

We want you!
We welcome highly motivated researchers interested our work. Our lab offers an interdisciplinary research environment at the interface of zoology, biochemistry/biotechnology, and pharmaceutical biology, with a focus on understanding how bioactive molecules evolve, how they shape organismal interactions and how they can be used by humankind.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to apply for open positions or to contact Dr. Lüddecke to discuss potential research projects and funding opportunities. We particularly support the development of independent research ideas and the integration of early-career researchers into competitive funding schemes.
Opportunities:
Postdoc Positions:
None
PhD Positions:
None (but grants are under review, so keep an eye on this spot!)
M.Sc. Projects:
Several masters projects in the area of venom biotechnology available.
B.Sc. Projects:
Some bachelors projects on antimicrobial venom peptides and insecticides are available.
