About this position

MSCA Doctoral Network FlexCAT is inviting applications for 15 PhD positions across an international, interdisciplinary research network coordinated from the Medical University of Graz in Austria.

The project focuses on developing innovative strategies to study and target intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in proteins, with β-catenin as a key model system. Research spans biology, biochemistry, molecular chemistry, cancer research, medical science, and biophysics. The network combines academic and industry partners and offers structured doctoral training, international secondments, transferable skills courses, and opportunities for conference presentations and scientific dissemination.

These are funded full-time doctoral positions (40 h/week for 36 months) under MSCA rules. Funding includes a salary/remuneration package, mobility allowance, and family allowance if eligible. Some host institutions may provide additional funding for a fourth year depending on the specific position.

Eligible applicants must hold or soon complete a relevant Master’s degree with excellent results, must not already have a doctoral degree, and must satisfy the MSCA mobility rule. Applicants need excellent English (minimum B2) and motivation for multidisciplinary experimental research, publication, secondments, and outreach. Technical requirements vary by individual project.

The application deadline is 31 October 2026. Applications are submitted via the recruitment portal, and candidates should review the individual project descriptions before applying.
