Open PhD position in amyloid fibril structure determination by cryo-EM at the Molecular Structure and Biophysics Group , Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C) , Forschungszentrum Jülich . The project is part of LipAgg MSCA DN , a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions doctoral network funded by the European Union. The research focuses on the structural characterization of lipid-associated amyloid fibrils and aims to understand how lipids influence fibril structure and contribute to amyloid formation in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease . This is a strong fit for candidates interested in biology , physics , chemistry , neuroscience , and structural biophysics . The network offers 15 PhD positions across multiple European institutions, plus network-wide training and secondments at Université Paris-Saclay (6 months) and Schrödinger (3 months). The position starts in September 2026 . Eligibility highlights: a Master’s degree in physics, chemistry, biology, or a related field , together with a strong interest in the topic . Application deadline: 30 April 2026 . Apply by email to Prof. Gunnar Schröder at [email protected] . More information is available via the links referenced in the post.

Open PhD position in the Molecular Structure and Biophysics Group at the Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. The project is part of LipAgg MSCA DN , a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions doctoral network funded by the European Union. The research focuses on amyloid fibril structure determination by cryo-EM and the role of lipids in amyloid formation and the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease . The specific project in this group aims at the structural characterization of lipid-associated amyloid fibrils by cryo-EM to understand how lipids affect fibril structure. The network offers 15 PhD positions across multiple European institutions, plus network-wide training and secondments at Université Paris-Saclay (6 months) and Schrödinger (3 months). Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a Master's degree in physics, chemistry, biology, or a related field, and a strong interest in the topic. Start date is September 2026 .
