PhD Positions in Computational Biology – Protein Evolution and Genetic Code Bias Charles University in Czech Republic

Charles University, Faculty of Science, Department of Cell Biology in Prague, Czechia, is offering two PhD positions in Computational Biology starting October 2026. The research focuses on the genetic code and its impact on protein evolution, using computational simulations and large-scale data analysis. The project is purely computational and aims to test how genetic code biases affect evolutionary paths in proteins.

Applicants should have or be close to finishing an MSc in biology, computer science, mathematics, or physics. Programming skills and an interest in data analysis are essential, while previous knowledge of biology is optional. The project is ideal for candidates curious about evolution and interested in computational approaches to biological questions.

The advisor for these positions is Dr. Hana Rozhoňová ([email protected]), and further details can be found on the Charles University Cell Biology department website. The application deadline is 31 March 2026. Funding details are not specified in the announcement.

To apply, prepare your CV and supporting documents, contact Dr. Rozhoňová for more information, and submit your application before the deadline. For more information, visit the provided links or scan the QR code in the announcement.
