PhD Opportunities in Cryo Electron Microscopy in Japan

Suyang Zhang’s team at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC-LMB) is recruiting a PhD student and a postdoctoral researcher to investigate co-transcriptional splicing , also described as transcription-coupled splicing. The research examines how splicing is coordinated with transcription and gene regulation. The projects will use cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and biochemistry to study the molecular structures and mechanisms underlying co-transcriptional splicing. The positions are bas...

A fully funded doctoral researcher position at the University of Helsinki invites applications to study protein synthesis in the lab of Sarah O’Keefe , with co-supervision from Brendan Battersby . The project, Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue , is based at the Viikki Campus in Helsinki and sits within the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences. The project brings together cellular and chemical biology to investigate how protein synthesis works and how it can be d...

The University of Leicester is offering fully funded PhD projects through the BBSRC Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP), based in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and the Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology. The projects are hosted in the AKV Lab, led by Dr. Abhinav KV. Two research projects focus on structural biology, antimicrobial resistance, horizontal gene transfer and virology. Students will combine cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)...

University of Oxford DPhil in Structural Biology Christian Siebold’s group at STRUBI, the University of Oxford’s structural biology research environment, is seeking a DPhil student for the 2027 entry through the NDM Prize Studentships scheme. The project will investigate the structural and molecular mechanisms of Hedgehog signalling within the primary cilium. The student will examine how membrane proteins and signalling complexes function and organise in their cellular environment, addressing si...

iBET – Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica is recruiting a PhD holder to join an IC&TD project focused on the development and production of complex biopharmaceuticals . The work is framed within collaborative R&D projects with biopharma companies and is aimed at advancing research activities in a biotechnology environment. The position is based at iBET in Oeiras, Portugal, within the department identified as Projet Manager. The successful candidate will contribute to research on com...

[AstraZeneca funded studentship with funding from £23,805 p.a. for a 4-year PhD.] This is a collaborative PhD studentship hosted by the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge and the AstraZeneca Discovery Centre at Cambridge. The project brings together academic and industry research environments, with the student working across both sites under joint supervision. The research focuses on improved 2A peptide sequences and their use in co-translational separation of polyproteins. T...

Fully funded PhD in protein synthesis at the University of Helsinki, Finland, hosted by the O'Keefe Lab in the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences. The thesis, “Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue,” focuses on understanding and inhibiting protein synthesis. The project combines cell biology, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and high-throughput screening to investigate molecular mechanisms and identify approaches for controlling protein production. The position...

The University of Helsinki is recruiting a doctoral researcher for the project Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue at the Viikki Campus in Helsinki, Finland. The project is based in the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Department of Molecular and Integrative Bioscience, and is led by Principal Investigator Sarah O’Keefe with co-supervision from Brendan Battersby. The research investigates how proteins are made and how protein-synthesis machinery can be inhibi...

A fully funded doctoral researcher project at the University of Helsinki invites a PhD student to join the O’Keefe Lab at the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences on the Viikki Campus in Helsinki . The work centres on protein synthesis and its inhibition, with a focus on the early stages of translation, membrane translocation and the discovery of new ways to probe and disrupt these processes. The project, Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue , brings together cellu...
