PhD Opportunities in Life Sciences at the University of Geneva University of Geneva in Switzerland

ETH Zurich’s newly established Plant Disease Dynamics group is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study how Starship transposons shape the biology of plant pathogenic fungi. The project sits at the intersection of fungal cell biology , biochemistry , structural biology , molecular biology , and fungal genomics , with a strong focus on horizontal gene transfer and the movement of virulence and cargo genes in fungi. The position can be tailored to one of two tracks: a cell-biology track using...

The WILD team at the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS) in Grenoble is recruiting a PhD student to study the molecular basis of substrate recognition in glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis. This project sits at the interface of structural biology and biochemistry, with methods including NMR spectroscopy and cryo-EM. It is a strong fit for candidates interested in biomolecular structure, enzyme/substrate recognition, and mechanistic studies of biosynthetic pathways. The post is associated with Reb...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Peter Rosenthal on cryomicroscopy of lipid-enveloped virus entry and assembly . The project sits at the intersection of structural biology , virology , cell biology , and biophysics , with a strong emphasis on cryo-EM , cryo-ET , and related imaging/computational methods. The research aims to directly image key steps in infection by lipid-enveloped viruses such as influenza and retroviruses . Topics include virus entry, receptor binding, mem...

Postdoctoral Researcher positions are available in the Laboratory of Protein Structure at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB), Poland, in the group headed by Prof. Marcin Nowotny. The successful candidate will join a project entitled “Mechanistic and structural studies of adenoviral DNA replication” , funded by the Polish National Science Centre under grant 2024/55/B/NZ1/02607. The work focuses on the structural and mechanistic characterization of adenovir...

🔬 The IMoPA laboratory (CNRS / University of Lorraine, UMR 7365) is advertising a postdoctoral researcher position in structural biology with a focus on cryo-EM and the assembly of snoRNPs . The project is centered on deciphering, at the molecular level, the assembly mechanisms of C/D-box and H/ACA-box snoRNPs within the RNA/RNP team led by Xavier Manival . This is a strong fit for candidates interested in RNA biology, ribonucleoprotein complexes, and structural approaches to macromolecular asse...
