Fully Funded PhD in AI Protein Design, Structural Biology and Plant Immunity University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at Durham University in AI protein design, structural biology, plant immunity, and bioinformatics . This fully funded four-year Gatsby Sainsbury PhD project in the Department of Biosciences and the Centre for Programmable Biological Matter (CPBM) aims to design synthetic plant immune receptors from first principles. The project combines generative protein design (including RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, and BindCraft), structural bioinformatics, structural biology, and plant functiona...

PhD opportunity in mechanism of transcription-coupled splicing at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom , supervised by Dr Suyang Zhang . The project focuses on how RNA polymerase II and the spliceosome communicate during co-transcriptional splicing to ensure accurate gene expression in eukaryotic cells. The lab studies the molecular mechanisms coordinating transcription and pre-mRNA splicing in human cells, including direct interactions betwee...

The International PhD Programme (IPP) Mainz at the Institute of Molecular Biology in Mainz, Germany, is recruiting for a fully funded PhD position focused on the molecular interactions of the mammalian circadian clock. Hosted by the research group of Eva Wolf, the project explores how PERIOD proteins interact within PER/CRY/CK1 complexes and with partner proteins such as WDR5 and REV-ERB/ROR nuclear receptors. The research is centered on the primary and secondary feedback loops of the mammalian ...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Biology: EastBIO: Understanding human sulfatases involved in heparan sulfate degradation . This project sits at the intersection of biochemistry , molecular biology , structural biology , biophysics , and biomedical engineering . The research focuses on human lysosomal sulfatases that act on heparan sulfate, with the goal of understanding their structure, mechanism, function, and disease relevance . The work connects directly to ly...

The Laboratory of Protein Structure at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB), headed by Prof. Marcin Nowotny, is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for a project focused on elucidating the mechanisms of plastid genome packaging. The successful candidate will join the project “IMPRESS-U DCL: Supplement: Structure and function of plastid nucleoid,” funded under NAWA BPN/NSF/2023/1/00011 and linked to the International Multilateral Partnerships for Resilient ...
