PhD Position in RNA Biology: The Institute for Molecular Infection Biology (IMIB) at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg is inviting applications for a PhD student position in the Beusch research group. This position focuses on the regulation of early spliceosome assembly and splice site recognition. The research will employ cutting-edge genetic and biochemical approaches to gain insights into RNA splicing regulation.
PhD Student Position in RNA Biology at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany
Designation:
PhD Student (f/m/d)
Research Area:
Regulation of early spliceosome assembly and splice site recognition in RNA splicing.
Location:
Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Master’s degree in life sciences with a strong background in RNA biology or biochemistry.
- Experience in molecular biology, tissue culture, cell line engineering, RNA-seq data analysis, and bioinformatics is advantageous but not mandatory.
- Strong written and spoken English-language communication skills.
- Interest in RNA biology and willingness to learn.
- The position is open to all qualified candidates regardless of race, gender, or disability. Applications from women and individuals with disabilities are particularly encouraged.
Job Description:
The selected candidate will be involved in an interdisciplinary research project investigating the regulation of spliceosome assembly.
