PhD opportunity at the Medical University of Graz in the FlexCAT MSCA Doctoral Network. This doctoral project, Cell-based characterization of IDRs binding to β-catenin , focuses on how intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) interact with β-catenin in cells and how these interactions shape transcriptional condensates and gene regulation. The project aims to: - characterize interactions between novel IDRs and β-catenin in cells; - determine the functional consequences of β-catenin-mediated regula...

FlexCAT is an international Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network offering 15 funded PhD positions across a Europe-wide consortium of academic and non-academic partners. The project focuses on developing innovative strategies to study and target intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in proteins. These regions are important in cell signalling and disease, especially cancer, but are difficult to address with conventional drug discovery approaches. Using β-catenin as a key model ...

About this position

Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in antifungal research at the Medical University of Innsbruck, within the Antifungal Therapeutics and Resistance Group at the Institute of Molecular Biology (Biocenter). The project is titled Molecular Mechanisms of Azole Resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus and is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

The successful candidate will investigate molecular mechanisms underlying antifungal resistance in the human pathogenic mold Aspergillus fumigatus, with a particular focus on transcriptional regulatory circuits. The role combines research, dissemination, supervision, and grant writing in a dynamic international environment.

Research keywords: molecular biology, microbiology, fungal genetics, antifungal resistance, azole resistance, biochemistry, omics approaches, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, fluorescence microscopy, genetic engineering, fungal cell culture.

Eligibility highlights: PhD or equivalent in Life Sciences (e.g., Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry); strong hands-on experience with cloning, RNA/DNA extraction, qPCR, protein biochemistry, and omics methods; interest in regulatory circuits and antifungal resistance; excellent English; German is helpful but not required. Experience supervising MSc/PhD students is desirable.

Funding: full-time postdoc for 2 years, with a competitive FWF salary of €70,200.20 gross per year plus social benefits.

Application deadline: 30 June 2026. Apply by email to [email protected] with a motivation letter, academic CV, PhD certificate and transcript, and two recommendation letters as separate PDF files.
