Max Perutz Labs

Tenure-Track Professorship in Genome Biology

Open since Nov 04, 2025

The Max Perutz Labs, one of Europe’s leading institutes for basic research in the life sciences, invite applications for a tenure-track group leader position. We are seeking exceptional candidates who will contribute in creative ways to the institute’s mission to analyze and reconstitute complex biological systems across different scales.

Max Perutz Labs

Full Professor of Integrative Structure Biology

Open since Oct 30, 2025

The Max Perutz Labs - one of Europe’s leading institutes for basic research in the life sciences - invite applications for a Full Professorship in Integrative Structure Biology with a focus on in situ structural biology using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and related methods to investigate the cellular organization of complex molecular systems in their native context.

The mission of the Max Perutz Labs is to analyse and reconstitute complex biological systems across scales of resolution. We seek a scientist with an outstanding track record in in situ cryo-ET, complemented by expertise in sample preparation, image analysis, and/or integrative modelling.

Hallacli Lab

Master Thesis Opportunity

Open since Oct 28, 2025

Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s Disease (PD) pose a major challenge to our aging society. At the Hallacli Lab, we study how toxic protein aggregates, especially alpha-synuclein (α-syn), contribute to disease progression. Our recent work has uncovered a novel connection between α-syn and Processing bodies (P-bodies) - RNA granules that play key roles in RNA metabolism (Hallacli et.al, Cell, 2022). Our goal is to understand how these ancient structures contribute to α-syn-induced toxicity in neurons and how a-syn modulates RNA metabolism in the cell.
