The newly FWF-funded International PhD Program in
Integrative Structural Biology (ISB)
invites applications for PhD studentships and 1 part-time Post-doctoral fellowship

The ISB offers a unique training and research network to study the structure and mechanism of complex macro-molecular systems involved in fundamental biological processes, such as pathogen-host interactions, protein quality control, muscle development, neurodegenerative diseases, membrane trafficking, protein-nucleic acids interactions and DNA damage response.

ISB integrates state-of-the-art structural and functional biology approaches with an emphasis on the implementation of structural biology hybrid methods. We offer challenging, interdisciplinary PhD projects, an innovative research-based training and mentoring program and a strong, collaborative research network.

Highly motivated students with a strong interest in Structural Biology are welcome to apply. PhD applicants should have an academic degree equivalent to a Diploma or a Masters in Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemistry, Computational Biology or related disciplines and should be able to communicate in English at an advanced level.

Interested candidates are invited to visit the home pages of the teams of the International PhD program in Integrated Structural Biology at: www.mfpl.ac.at/training/phd-opportunities/doctoral-program-structural-biology.html
