About this position

PhD student position in molecular biosciences at Stockholm University, Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute (MBW), Sweden.

The project is hosted in the Martin Jastroch laboratory and focuses on the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial bioenergetics. The research combines molecular simulations and systems-level models with biochemical, physiological, and metabolic data. The work is carried out in collaboration with the Ville Kaila and Ilaria Piazza labs and within the Strategic Research Center on Modelling Life at the Membrane with AI.

Applicants should have a background in computational biology, biochemistry, or biophysics, especially methods applied to mitochondrial proteins and biological membranes. The post also requires strong analytical and creative thinking, initiative, independence, collaboration skills, and proficiency in both Swedish and English.

Eligibility follows Stockholm University doctoral admission rules: a second-cycle degree, or at least 240 higher education credits including 60 second-cycle credits, or equivalent knowledge. The position is a fixed-term doctoral employment (full time), normally up to four years, with salary as fixed salary rather than a scholarship.

Deadline: 2026-11-03. Apply via Stockholm University’s recruitment system and submit a personal letter, CV, and all requested attachments before the deadline.
