PhD Position in Structural Biology of Eukaryotic Translation Control

CEITEC Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD position within Petr Tesina’s Research Group. The doctoral project focuses on understanding how human translation is controlled at the structural level by investigating ribosomal complexes. The successful candidate will receive extensive training in cutting-edge techniques such as cryo-EM, protein and RNA biochemistry, and biophysics. The position is supported by an ERC Starting Grant and an EMBO Installation Grant, offering a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package.

• Investigate structures of ribosomal complexes involved in eukaryotic translation control using advanced techniques.
• Perform protein and RNA biochemistry, biophysics, and potentially CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing experiments.
• Utilize state-of-the-art cryo-EM instruments and participate in comprehensive core facility training.
• Collaborate within an international research team and communicate scientific findings effectively.
• Engage in professional development activities, workshops, and project management training.
