About this position

CEITEC MU at Masaryk University in Brno, Czechia is advertising a fully funded PhD position in Structural Biology of Eukaryotic Translation Control within the Petr Tesina Research Group. The project focuses on how human translation is controlled at the structural level, with research on ribosomal complexes involved in eukaryotic translation control.

This PhD is a strong fit for candidates interested in structural biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and cryo-EM. The lab offers access to state-of-the-art cryo-EM instruments and provides training in cryo-EM, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, protein and RNA biochemistry, and related biophysical methods. The environment is described as international and supportive, with access to core facilities, workshops, conferences, and EMBO-linked opportunities.

Funding is ERC-backed, with a starting salary of 30,000 CZK net per month and yearly increases. The package also includes paid holiday, medical insurance, meal and pension contributions, a Multisport card, mental health care, sports lessons, and kindergarten access near campus.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold an MSc or equivalent, preferably in Life Sciences, and have strong spoken and written English. Prior experience in structural biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, programming, or human/yeast cell culture is advantageous but not required. The position is open until 2027-01-08 and uses rolling review, so early application is encouraged. Start date is expected in Q1 2027 (negotiable).

To apply, submit a CV, motivation letter, list of publications, and contacts for at least two references through the e-application link. Informal enquiries can be sent to Petr Tesina at [email protected]; technical issues can be directed to Lenka Divinová at [email protected].
