About this position

PhD opportunities are mentioned in this post, including a Structural Microbiology PhD at the University of Bern and a separate PhD opening at WULS-SGGW.

University of Bern PhD: Structural Microbiology
The Zuber lab at the Institute of Anatomy is recruiting a PhD student as part of the SNSF Sinergia consortium DISPERSE. The project focuses on bacterial virulence rather than the bacteria themselves, using single-particle cryo-EM and cryo-electron tomography to determine high-resolution structures of Clostridium beta-pore-forming toxins, both alone and in complex with rationally designed peptide inhibitors. The work is in close collaboration with Jean-Louis Reymond (peptide design and cheminformatics) and Horst Posthaus (Institute of Animal Pathology, in vivo validation).

Eligibility highlights: an MSc in life science, biochemistry, biophysics, biomedical engineering, or a related field; fluency in English; prior protein biochemistry experience is a strong asset; background in structural biology, electron microscopy, image analysis, or programming is welcome.

Timeline: start date is 1 August 2026 or by arrangement; application deadline is 12 June 2026. A full application link is provided in the post.

WULS-SGGW PhD
A second PhD position is open at WULS-SGGW on plant-based foods and novel dietary fiber sources, supervised by Prof. Marcin A. Kurek. The stated requirement is at least 2 publications as first or corresponding author. Contact email: [email protected].

This post is useful for candidates interested in structural biology, microbiology, cryo-EM, peptide inhibitors, food science, nutrition, and plant-based food research.

Funding details

The University of Bern position is a PhD recruitment within the SNSF Sinergia consortium DISPERSE; no stipend amount or tuition details are stated. Funding details for the WULS-SGGW position are not provided in the post.

What's required

For the University of Bern PhD, applicants should have an MSc in life science, biochemistry, biophysics, biomedical engineering, or a related field, be fluent in English, and ideally have prior experience in protein biochemistry (recombinant expression and purification); background in structural biology, electron microscopy, image analysis, or programming is welcome. For the WULS-SGGW PhD, the requirement stated is at least 2 publications as first or corresponding author.
