PhD Opportunities in Structural Biology in Luxembourg

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...

The Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) at Leiden University is offering a PhD position within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ANA-KIN . The project sits at the interface of AI, cheminformatics, and kinase drug discovery, with a focus on moving beyond traditional ATP-site targeting in order to support the discovery of more selective and resistance-aware kinase ligands. As Doctoral Candidate 10 , you will work on deep-learning methods that combine text-mined information, ...

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)...

The International Max Planck Research School — From Molecules to Organisms is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme in the life sciences at the University of Tübingen, offered in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen and the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory. The programme is designed for PhD researchers who want to study complex biological processes across multiple levels of organisation, from molecules to organisms and even ecosystems. Projects and training are offered b...

IMPRS-ML is an international doctoral programme at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Planegg, run in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and Technische Universität München. The programme is designed to train doctoral researchers at the forefront of modern life sciences. Research activity spans biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, cell biology, systems biology, and computational biology, with an emphasis...

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...

Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School (HBIGS) at Heidelberg University is a doctoral programme in the biosciences, offering PhD training in a highly interdisciplinary research environment in Heidelberg. The programme brings together research areas in which Heidelberg is especially strong, including developmental biology, infectious diseases, molecular and cellular biology, molecular biotechnology and biophysics, molecular plant sciences, neurosciences, structural biology, biochemi...
