About this position

PhD opportunities in structural microbiology and plant-based foods/dietary fiber

1) University of Bern, Switzerland โ€” PhD in Structural Microbiology
The Zuber lab at the Institute of Anatomy, University of Bern is recruiting a PhD student as part of the SNSF Sinergia consortium DISPERSE. The project focuses on bacterial virulence, specifically Clostridium beta-pore-forming toxins, and uses single-particle cryo-EM and cryo-electron tomography to determine high-resolution structures of toxins alone and in complex with rationally designed peptide inhibitors. The work is carried out in close collaboration with Jean-Louis Reymond (peptide design and cheminformatics) and Horst Posthaus (Institute of Animal Pathology, in vivo validation).

Applicants should have an MSc in life science, biochemistry, biophysics, biomedical engineering, or a related field. Fluency in English is required. Prior experience in protein biochemistry, especially recombinant expression and purification, is a strong asset. Background in structural biology, electron microscopy, image analysis, or programming is welcome.

Start date: 1 August 2026 or by arrangement. Application deadline: 12 June 2026. Full details and application are available via the linked application page.

2) WULS-SGGW โ€” PhD position in plant-based foods and novel dietary fiber sources
A second PhD opening is mentioned at WULS-SGGW with Prof. Marcin A. Kurek as supervisor. The topic is plant-based foods and novel dietary fiber sources. The stated requirement is at least 2 publications as first or corresponding author. Contact email: [email protected].

Keywords: structural microbiology, cryo-EM, cryo-electron tomography, bacterial virulence, protein biochemistry, structural biology, electron microscopy, peptide inhibitors, cheminformatics, plant-based foods, dietary fiber, food science.

Funding details

The University of Bern position is a PhD opening within the SNSF Sinergia consortium DISPERSE; the post does not specify stipend amount or tuition details. The WULS-SGGW PhD funding details are not stated in the post.

What's required

For the University of Bern PhD, applicants should have an MSc in life science, biochemistry, biophysics, biomedical engineering, or a related field, be fluent in English, and ideally have prior experience in protein biochemistry (recombinant expression and purification). Background in structural biology, electron microscopy, image analysis, or programming is welcomed. For the WULS-SGGW PhD, candidates should have at least 2 publications as first or corresponding author.
