About this position
🚨 The PEvoGen Team at the University of Minho (Braga, Portugal) is recruiting two PhD-level researchers for the MALARITY project, focused on cutting-edge malaria research.
The project integrates molecular parasitology, genomics, high-content imaging, computational biology, and machine learning to study Plasmodium falciparum biology and accelerate discovery of new antimalarial strategies.
Position 1 – Molecular Parasitology & Functional Biology
- Plasmodium falciparum molecular and cellular biology
- Recombinant protein expression
- Protein-protein interactions
- Drug resistance and parasite phenotyping
Position 2 – Genomics & Computational Biology
- Population and pathogen genomics
- Drug resistance markers
- Python programming and reproducible workflows
- Machine learning applied to sequencing data
The team highlights access to state-of-the-art technologies including CRISPR genome editing, Opera Phenix high-content phenotypic screening, next-generation sequencing, and machine learning, plus collaborations with international partners and access to clinical and laboratory datasets.
Location: Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), University of Minho, Braga, Portugal.
Deadline: 18 August 2026.
This is a strong fit for candidates interested in infectious diseases, malaria, parasite biology, genomics, and computational approaches to biomedical research.
