PhD Position on Crossover Formation and Control During Inverted-Order Meiosis in Holocentric Rhynchospora Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Germany

Postdoctoral Research Scientist opportunity at the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut, Institute of Molecular Virology and Cell Biology, in Greifswald–Insel Riems, Germany. This position is within the ONEMUC research group and focuses on influenza A virus interactions with avian and mammalian mucosal surfaces . The research combines airway cell culture models , microscopy , and molecular virology , offering a strong environment for candidates interested in virus-host interactions, respiratory biology, ...

The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf is offering a PhD position in vesicle engineering and membrane protein biochemistry within the Translational Oncology group of Prof. Meike Saul at the II. Department of Medicine in Hamburg, Germany. The project focuses on expressing and purifying membrane proteins and reconstituting them into synthetic lipid vesicles. The engineered vesicles will be characterized for protein incorporation, surface presentation, and vesicle properties. Their cellula...

This PhD project investigates how the resident virome of insects shapes immune responses and fitness, and how this in turn influences interactions with incoming virus infections. You will work on fundamental questions in insect virology using lepidopteran species as the study system. The project focuses on defining virome composition, testing how resident viral communities affect insect life-history traits and responses to infection, and examining vertical transmission of the virome across gener...

The Tan Lab at New York University’s School of Medicine and Institute for Systems Genetics is recruiting postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and research staff. The lab develops machine-learning models to understand and engineer gene regulation. This interdisciplinary research environment combines computational methods with genetics and molecular biology to investigate how regulatory information is encoded and how it can be engineered. Postdoctoral and doctoral researchers would join a syste...

Two funded PhD positions are available in Kenneth Dumack’s group at the University of Koblenz, Germany, investigating an unusual photosynthetic rhizarian and its complex plastid. The projects aim to determine how the plastid was acquired and how this organelle is integrated into the eukaryotic cell. One PhD project centers on evolutionary genomics and bioinformatic physiology, offering a computational perspective on plastid evolution and cellular function. The second project focuses on cell biol...
