PhD Position in Microbiology, Microbiome Signaling and Synthetic Biology at Saarland University Saarland University in Germany

Postdoctoral opening in structural biology at Saarland University , Germany, in a new microbiology group led by Luis Linares-Otoya . The lab studies novel secretion systems and sensing mechanisms in human microbiome bacteria, with a particular focus on Bacteroidota . The research aims to understand how these systems work at the molecular level and how they may be leveraged for synthetic biology . The position is especially suitable for candidates with experience in cryo-EM or protein crystallogr...

University Medical Center Mainz is recruiting two Postdoctoral Researchers (m/f/d) for an ERC-funded project in the Institute of Pharmacology led by Andreas Bock . The project, CLARITY , focuses on how cells process information through GPCR signaling and how subcellular GPCR nanoswitches shape signaling specificity. The research combines advanced live-cell microscopy (including FLIM ), quantitative and proximity-labeling proteomics , bioinformatics , and molecular and cell biology . This is a st...

PhD position at the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Biotechnology (IBG-1), Forschungszentrum Jülich, in the Synthetic Phage Biology (SynPhage) group. The project focuses on the biology and applications of bacterial antiphage defenses , including how bacteria detect phage infection, how defense systems determine cell fate, and how new anti-phage mechanisms evolve. The work sits at the intersection of microbiology , molecular biology , biochemistry , structural biology , biotechnology , and sy...
