About this position
CEITEC MU (Central European Institute of Technology, Masaryk University) in Brno, Czech Republic is advertising a fully funded PhD position in Structural Biology of Eukaryotic Translation Control in Petr Tesina’s research group.
The project focuses on the structural biology of ribosomal complexes involved in eukaryotic translation control, combining structural biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics. The lab offers access to state-of-the-art cryo-EM facilities and provides training in cryo-EM, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, and protein/RNA biochemistry.
This is an ERC-funded PhD with a starting net salary of 30,000 CZK per month and yearly increases. Additional benefits include paid holiday, medical insurance, meal and pension contributions, a Multisport card, mental health care, sports lessons, and support for relocation and visa matters.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold an MSc or equivalent degree, 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 a plus, but not required. The group values curiosity, independence, dedication, and teamwork.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until 8 January 2027, with a start date expected in Q1 2027 (negotiable). Apply through the e-application portal using the “I AM INTERESTED” button and submit a CV, motivation letter, publication list, and at least two references.
