open PhD position in Umeå, Sweden - cryo-ET of virus replication


Umea University, Umea, Sweden
Application deadline: 07 Sep 2025


An open PhD position available. The position is for 4-5 years and fully funded. Nationality and residency do not play a role in the selection process.

The PhD student will be working on in situ structural studies of arbovirus replication, using lots of cryo-ET, cell biology and biochemistry. They have the full suite of cell biology, virology and biochemistry equipment, and the Swedish national cryo-EM facility (which is BSL2-approved) is in the same building as our lab. There is room for customising the project, which will be carried out in the context of a long-term, collaborative network with some very cool collaborators that do everything from animal experiments to analytical mathematical models of membrane remodelling.

Feel free to get in touch with in case of questions. There’s more info on our lab website:
