PhD positions in the field of molecular medicine, age-related diseases, immunology, molecular and lipid metabolism, cardiovascular research and biostatistics, Medical University of Graz, Austria

We offer the unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art techniques and link basic research with clinically-oriented sciences. The PhD Program “Molecular Medicine” (Medical University of Graz) and “Metabolic regulation of healthy ageing”, (University of Graz, Medical University of Vienna and Medical University of Graz), offer 27 PhD positions with a special focus on age-related diseases, immunology, lipid metabolism, cardiovascular research and biostatistics.

As a PhD student, you will be embedded in an interdisciplinary community of supervisors, fellow students and administrative support. PhD students receive a 3-year contract (1 initial year + 2 years extension) including a competitive salary and social benefits. The possibility of a contract extension for 1 year (4th year) may be possible upon successful completion of a research stay abroad.

Applications are exclusively accepted through the online platform. You do not need to contact the supervisors and do not send any documents by regular mail or e-mail unless you are explicitly asked to do so by our staff. There is no application fee. Our Welcome Center is happy to support you with your visa application and entry into Austria. Projects start 1 March 2025.

Postdoc position in plant-microbe interactions & regulatory networks, Yale University, USA

The newly established Cantó-Pastor lab in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale University is seeking a  Postdoctoral Scholar. This fully funded position is flexible in scope but centered on the development of new transcriptomic and microscopy tools to study the regulation of plant immunity and systemic resistance at a single cell level.

The Cantó-Pastor lab is officially opening in October 2024. This research group is dedicated to understanding how plants let some beneficial soil microbes into their roots while keeping pathogens at bay. We focus primarily on the regulatory networks that influence plant immunity during plant-microbe interactions. They develop transcriptomics, single cell-omics, and microscopy methods to explore fundamental question in plant immunity and cell type-specific regulatory mechanisms.

Applicants must hold a PhD. Degree (or equivalent) in plant sciences, molecular biology, omics, or related fields. Get more information on the position, candidate requirements, application process and contact details on the FEBS Network and please note that screening of applications will begin in mid October 2024 and will continue until a suitable candidate is found.
