Department: Gabriel Demo Research Group – Central European Institute of Technology
Deadline: 19 Jan 2025
Start date: September 2025 (by negotiation ? based on autumn semester start date)
Job type: full-time
Job field: Science and research

Come to CEITEC MU in Brno and join us!

We are passionate structural biologists at CEITEC looking for

PhD Candidate/Student in regulation of translation

About this position: 

We're excited to announce an open PhD student position in Gabriel Demo's Research Group!

Understanding the intricate mechanisms regulating ribosome maturation and translation under extreme or stress-induced conditions is vital for uncovering how cells adapt to challenging environments. This project will focus on investigating the molecular mechanisms behind ribosome maturation in bacteria and translation regulation in archaea under such conditions. The ultimate goal is to reveal the adaptation strategies that enable cell survival.

By employing state-of-the-art single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), the project will provide high-resolution structural insights into ribosomal assembly intermediates, stress-induced translation factors, and archaeal translation machinery under extreme conditions. This research is anticipated to significantly advance our understanding of cellular translation regulation and its role in stress and survival mechanisms.

The research will involve close collaboration with leading experimental teams and will be tailored to the interests and strengths of the candidate. We look forward to discussing this exciting opportunity and the project's scope further during the interview.

The ideal candidate profile:

Must-have:


	MSc or equivalent degree in biochemistry or structural biology and related fields
	Practical experience working in the wet lab, mainly focusing on translation (purification of ribosomes, ribosome complex assembly, etc.)

Be part of the Robinson Research Institute and Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, and contribute to world-leading research in reproductive biology.

We are seeking a passionate and skilled researcher to join our team at the Robinson Research Institute and School of Biomedicine, University of Adelaide in a role that bridges bioinformatics, microbiology, and systems biology. The position focuses on multi-omics data integration, with an emphasis on microbiome studies, including metataxonomics and metagenomics, and the analysis of genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic datasets. The successful candidate will work directly with RRI Director, Prof David MacIntyre and with international collaborators on projects related to reproductive health, aiming to uncover the mechanisms underlying adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and miscarriage.

This role will involve developing and implementing computational workflows, performing statistical modelling, and collaborating across disciplines to translate findings into actionable treatments and diagnostic tools.

Applicants must possess strong programming skills (R and/or Python) and a demonstrated ability to publish high-quality research in peer-reviewed journals.

Established in 2008, the Robinson Research Institute is internationally renowned for its pioneering research in reproductive biology and early childhood health that spans four themes: Fertility and Conception, Pregnancy and Birth, Early Origins of Health and Child and Adolescent Health. Its mission is to deliver world-class research that advances knowledge in human reproduction, pregnancy and child health and informs clinical care, policy and practice to improve life-long health for women and children across generations into the future.
