PhD Position in Microbial Physiology and Protein Biochemistry at University of Münster University of Münster in Germany

A PhD position is available in the team of Professor Julia Kurth at the University of Münster, Germany, focusing on microbial physiology, protein biochemistry, and environmental microbiology. The research project is part of the Cluster of Excellence ‘Microbes for Climate (M4C)’, which investigates the roles of CO2/CH4-converting microbes in climate change. The specific project will explore the biochemical properties and evolutionary history of uncharacterized methyltransferases, providing opportunities to work at the intersection of biochemistry, evolutionary biology, and environmental science.

The University of Münster is a leading institution in microbiology research, and the M4C initiative brings together experts in microbial physiology and climate-related studies. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaborations within the M4C cluster. The position is ideal for candidates with a background in microbiology, biochemistry, or related fields, and an interest in protein biochemistry and environmental applications of microbial research.
