PhD Position in Structural Biology: A fully funded 4-year PhD position is available in the Membrane Transport Mechanisms lab at Instituto Biofisika (IBF) in the Bilbao area. The research focuses on uncovering the structural and functional determinants of solute transport via transmembrane protein transporters using cutting-edge electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM). The position offers extensive training in advanced structural biology techniques, biochemistry, and biophysics, making it an excellent opportunity for highly motivated candidates passionate about life sciences research.
PhD Position in Structural Biology of Membrane Transporters
Designation:
PhD Student
Research Area:
Structural Biology, Membrane Transport, Electron Cryo-Microscopy (Cryo-EM)
Location:
Instituto Biofisika (IBF), Bilbao, Spain
Eligibility/Qualification:
- A Master’s degree (MSc) in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Physics, Biomedicine, or a related discipline.
- Good written and oral communication skills in English.
Job Description:
The PhD candidate will work on a project aimed at understanding the structural and functional determinants of solute transport through transmembrane protein transporters. The research will involve the use of state-of-the-art electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) at the Basque Resource for Electron Microscopy (BREM), which includes advanced equipment like the Krios G4 and Gatan BioContinuum Imaging Filter. The lab provides comprehensive training in membrane protein biochemistry, biophysical characterization, and cryo-EM, equipping the candidate with the skills necessary to advance our understanding of solute homeostasis and related pathologies.
