PhD positions in Biophysics: Cryo-EM Structural Biology and AI-Driven Computational Modeling of Membrane Proteins Stockholm University in Sweden

Stockholm University is recruiting PhD student(s) in Biochemistry for the project “Mechanistic Studies of Bioenergetic Protein Complexes” within the ERC-Advanced Grant project bioEnergetic . The research focuses on bioenergetic protein complexes, membrane-bound enzymes in respiratory chains, redox energy conversion, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), and electrical field effects in protein function. The work combines biochemical, biophysical, and structural approaches such as cryo-EM, spec...

This fully funded PhD position at the VIB–VUB Center for Structural Biology, co-affiliated with the VIB Center for AI & Computational Biology, offers an exciting opportunity to develop advanced AI-driven methods for protein design. The research focuses on explicitly accounting for protein–lipid and protein–membrane interactions, enabling the design of synthetic membrane proteins and nanopores with sophisticated functionalities such as selective transport, sensing, and signal transduction. The la...
