Dear members of the structural biology community,
I would be grateful if you could bring the call for the International PhD program of the Integrative Molecular and Cellular Biology (IMCBio) graduate school at the University of Strasbourg, France, to the attention of interested students:
https://imcbio-phdprogram.unistra.fr
The IMCBio graduate school builds on the strong research developed in four different institutes. This includes the IGBMC, which is a European Instruct center and thus houses state-of-the-art facilities for structural biology (NMR, X-ray crystallography, SAXS, and latest instrumentation for Cryo-EM and Cryo-ET).
Structural biology at the IGBMC has a long tradition and focus on large macromolecular machines involved in gene expression (transcription and translation machineries), Chromatin organization, and epigenetics (epigenetic regulators, topoisomerases, retroviral integrases, histone chaperones and deacetylases, methyltransferases), viral oncoproteins, motor proteins, and nuclear receptors.
Strasbourg is a cosmopolitan city in the heart of Europe. The IGBMC is a vibrant and highly international institute (over 45 nationalities, working language is English) with about 250 PhD students:

An initial registration for the PhD program needs to be done until January 19th, the deadline to complete the application is January 26th, 2020.
My lab would be interested in suitable candidates that are keen to work on challenging supramolecular assemblies involved in gene expression. If you scroll down to the section “Integrated Structural Biology (LabEx INRT)” on the IMCBio website, it will provide project descriptions and links to papers that we recently published. You are also welcome to contact me (albert.weixlbaumer@igbmc.fr) for more information or to schedule a zoom meeting for a thorough discussion.
Please forward this to any interested candidate.
Thanks, Albert
