About this position

PhD opportunity in Structural and Molecular Glycobiology at the Institute of Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI), University of Zaragoza, Spain.

The Structural and Molecular Glycobiology Group, led by Dr Ramón Hurtado-Guerrero, is recruiting a highly motivated candidate for a predoctoral/PhD position linked to the project “Engineering writers, erasers and readers of O-glycans to therapeutically intervene in the mucin O-glycan code” (Reference: PID2025-167711NB-I00).

Research topics include glycobiology, structural biology, enzymology, biophysics, chemical biology, and computational approaches. The project focuses on human and microbial glycosyltransferases, glycosyltransferase inhibitors, bacterial mucinases, tumour-associated Tn and STn glycans, antibodies, nanobodies, immunotherapeutic strategies, and structural/biophysical methods such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, NMR, AFM, and molecular modelling.

Eligibility highlights: degree in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Biomedicine, or a related discipline; undergraduate average grade above 8.5/10; excellent academic record; strong motivation for an interdisciplinary and international PhD; interest in glycobiology, structural biology, enzymology, or biomedical research; good scientific English.

Deadline: 30 September 2026.

How to apply: Email a CV, full academic transcript, brief motivation statement, and optionally one or two reference contacts to Dr Ramón Hurtado-Guerrero at [email protected]. This is an expression-of-interest application.
