Research Opportunities

Are you passionate about structural biology, RNA–protein interactions, and cutting-edge research in gene regulation? At the Stefl Lab, we offer an exciting and interdisciplinary research environment where students can work at the forefront of structural biology.

In our lab, you will work on fundamental questions in gene expression by studying RNA–protein complexes that control transcription, RNA processing, and RNA degradation. You will gain hands-on experience with modern structural biology approaches, primarily cryo-EM and NMR, complemented by biochemical and biophysical methods.

We provide a collaborative and supportive environment, close supervision, and opportunities to develop independent research projects.

We welcome students with backgrounds in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, or related fields. Prior experience is helpful but not required—motivation, curiosity, and a willingness to learn are most important.

If you are interested, we would love to hear from you!

What we are looking for

  • MSc in biochemistry, biophysics, biology, or a related field
  • Good computer skills, preferably in Unix or macOS
  • Basic knowledge of cryo-EM and/or NMR
  • Eagerness to learn and share knowledge
  • Motivation and the ability to work effectively in a team
  • Good communication skills in English

What we offer

  • Modern laboratory facilities
  • Competitive high-risk, high-gain projects
  • Access to state-of-the-art instruments
  • Stable funding for research projects
  • Full access to scientific literature
  • Opportunities to attend workshops and training courses
  • Financial support for conference travel
  • Competitive salary
