PhD in Bottom-up Artificial Cell Research on the Single-DNA Level Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel

Postdoctoral Researcher Positions are open in the ERC Advanced Grant project ProtoEco: Protoecologies between Artificial Cells and Mammalian Cells at the University of Mainz / Walther Lab, with links to the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. The project explores how artificial/synthetic cells can coexist, communicate, and cooperate with mammalian cells in structured 2D and 3D environments. Research themes include artificial cells , synthetic biology , DNA nanotechnology , systems chemist...

Funded PhD project at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom, on the cryo-EM structure of mechanically unfolded proteins . The project is a 2027 Crick Joint PhD with Dr Sergi Garcia-Manyes and Dr Alessandro Costa , combining expertise from single-molecule mechanics and cryo-EM. The research sits at the intersection of biochemistry , biophysics , physical chemistry , molecular biology , and bioengineering . It focuses on how mechanical forces regulate protein unfolding and mechanot...

The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in Barcelona is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the Quasi-Living Materials Research Group under the project PhagoSynCell (ERC Consolidator Grant). The position is titled “Engineering of Novel Antimicrobial Phagocytic Vesicles” and sits at the interface of polymer chemistry, soft matter, membrane mechanics, and antimicrobial materials research. The project aims to create synthetic cells and vesicles that can capture, engulf, and kill b...
