PhD opportunity: Investigating CDK control of the eukaryotic cell cycle at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom. This funded PhD project is with Dr P Nurse and focuses on how cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle. The project uses fission yeast as a model system to study how CDK activity rises through the cell cycle, how it coordinates S-phase and mitosis, how it is linked to cell growth, and how phosphorylation timing and substrate specificity are c...

About this position

This PhD project, offered by the Schiebel group at the Centre for Molecular Biology (ZMBH) at Heidelberg University, focuses on the molecular mechanisms of centriole duplication and biogenesis. The Schiebel group is internationally recognized for its research on gamma-tubulin complexes, centrioles, and centrosome function. The successful candidate will investigate how centrioles duplicate and assemble microtubules during their formation, using a combination of advanced microscopy, biochemistry, and genetic tools.

The project aims to unravel the complexities of centriole assembly and function, and to understand how defects in these processes can lead to disease. The PhD student will be part of the Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School (HBIGS), benefiting from a vibrant scientific community and access to state-of-the-art research facilities. The position is fully funded for three years, with the possibility of extension depending on progress and funding.

Applicants should have a Master’s degree or equivalent in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field, and should be passionate about science and cell biology. Good English language skills are required. Applications must be submitted through the HBIGS online application system and should include a CV, cover letter, and contact information for two references.

The application deadline is March 31, 2026, and the position is expected to start on January 1, 2026. For more information, candidates can visit the HBIGS website or contact Prof. Elmar Schiebel directly. This is an excellent opportunity for motivated students to join a leading research group and contribute to fundamental discoveries in cell biology at one of Germany’s top universities.
