    The author investigates the quantum Kepler problem without magnetic monopols on the superspace \(\mathbb R^{D| 2n}\). The Schrödinger equation in the superspace is given by \(H\Psi = E\Psi\) where the Schrödinger operator is \(H= -\frac{1}{2} \Delta + \mathcal V\) acting on functions from \(\mathbb R^d\) to the complex Grassmann algebra \(\Lambda_{2n}\). For the Kepler problem the potential \(\mathcal V\) is inversely proportional to the \(\text{osp}(D| 2n)\) invariant distance to the origin. It is shown that the problem exhibits an \(\text{osp}(2, D+1| 2n)\) dynamical supersymmetry where the generators of the orthosympletic Lie superalgebra are constructed explicitly. Thus the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenspaces can be determined.
