PhD position in molecular biology at Medical Univ of Vienna


A PhD position is available immediately at the Medical University of Vienna. The project, funded by the Austrian Science Fund, studies structure and function of the human ABC-transporter P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) as a paradigm for ABC-exporter function (for further information see: www.fwf.ac.at, grant P23319). ABCB1 is a major determinant of the response of human disease to systemic pharmacotherapy. The project aims at developing a model of P-glycoprotein transport function at atomic resolution.

Applicants must hold a master degree with a strong background in molecular biology. We are looking for highly motivated candidates of all nationalities who have a keen interest in our research topic. Our project is conducted in the multidisciplinary environment of a research cluster with a focus on membrane transporters. In order to take advantage of this environment we expect and encourage an explorative attitude and good communication skills, especially in English. Applicants should be familiar with standard molecular biology techniques (site directed mutagenesis, cloning techniques, expression systems). A background in computational biology is preferred. The position will receive funding from FWF for a period of three years.




The Institutes of Pharmacology and Medical Chemistry are located in vicinity of the historic center of Vienna and the teaching hospital of the Medical University of Vienna.


Applications containing a cover letter explaining relevant work experience, CV, copies of certificates and contact details of two references should be sent to: thomas.stockner@meduniwien.ac.at; peter.chiba@meduniwien.ac.at


PhD project title: Molecular Neurobiology of Circadian Timekeeping

Applications invited from EU & UK nationals for a fully funded 3-year PhD studentship under the supervision of Dr Michael Hastings FRS.

The aim of this project is to investigate the role of Cryptochrome proteins in the circadian timing machinery of mammals. Particular emphasis will be placed on their putative role as magnetoreceptors. Techniques to be applied include real-time bioluminescent and fluorescent imaging of circadian gene expression, cell and brain slice organotypic culture, recombinant protein biochemistry, targetted mutagenesis, virally mediated, optogenetic control of cellular activity, and proteomic analysis of circadian transcriptional complexes. How do Cryptochrome proteins behave within the cell over the 24 hour circadian cycle, what is their role in transcriptional regulation and how are their functions affected by magnetic fields?

The position will suit an industrious, highly motivated molecular neurobiologist/ biochemist with a track record of academic excellence. The successful applicant will work within an internationally renowned research group, headed by Dr Michael Hastings FRS, investigating various aspects of circadian timekeeping. The group is supported by the world-class facilities of MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. As a PhD student at LMB, the student will also become a member of a Cambridge College and be registered at the University of Cambridge.
