Fully Funded PhD in Structural Biology of Negative-Strand RNA Viruses and Open Postdoc Position Umeå University in Sweden

Umeå University is advertising research opportunities in structural biology and virology, with a focus on negative-strand RNA viruses. The post highlights two paths: an open postdoc position for candidates who already hold a PhD, and a fully funded doctoral student position in the lab of Max Renner.

The PhD project is described as part of a fun, friendly, and ambitious team working in a strong infection biology environment in Umeå. The student would use the university’s in-house cryo-EM facility, UCEM, and the post also references cryo-ET as a relevant technique. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for applicants interested in structural methods applied to viral systems, macromolecular structure, and infection biology.

Study keywords: structural biology, virology, negative-strand RNA viruses, cryo-EM, cryo-ET, infection biology.

Eligibility highlights: the postdoc is for applicants with a completed PhD; the doctoral student position is for those seeking PhD training. No deadline, application portal, or detailed entry requirements are provided in the post.

Funding: the PhD position is explicitly stated to be fully funded. No further financial details are given.

Institution: Umeå University, Sweden.
