PhD and Postdoctoral researcher positions in the RNA Structural Biology & Biophysics laboratory at Uppsala University, Sweden.
The research projects focus on RNA structure, dynamics, and regulation under biologically relevant conditions, including microRNAs, ribosomal RNA, and viral RNAs. The successful candidates will use and further develop state-of-the-art biophysical and structural biology methods such as solution- and solid-state NMR, in-cell NMR, RNA chemical probing (e.g., SHAPE-based methods), and integrative data analysis to answer biological complex questions. Computational or advanced data analysis skills are of advantage.
The positions offer access to a strong local infrastructure, including high-field NMR spectrometers with cryogenic probes, Cryo-EM facility, own sequencer and complementary biochemical, molecular biology, and cell-based facilities. The lab is embedded in an interdisciplinary and international research environment within the Center of Excellence for Chemical Mechanisms of Life.
Postdoctoral positions are full-time, time-limited appointments according to Swedish regulations. PhD positions are fully funded doctoral training positions (4 years).

Biocomputation & Experimental Biology Intern - A51 startup
Meet A51 and the team shaping programmable biology A51 is a biotech company engineering RNA to reprogram cellular states. We use RNA as the programmable layer of biology. Backed by a top-tier Silicon Valley VC and based at the iconic Agoranov incubator in the heart of Paris, A51 is a winner of the national i-Lab innovation competition and part of the 2025 Future 40 cohort, a recognition that places us among the top 4 percent of startups. Our mission is to make biology engineerable by rapidly designing functional RNAs that modulate cell behavior. Beyond treating disease, this opens the door to regenerative medicine and real-time cellular reprogramming. We’re a global, interdisciplinary team spanning wet lab, computation, and engineering, working on some of the hardest problems in biotech.
What you will do: As a Biocomputation & Experimental Biology Intern, you will work on building the foundational pieces of our cellular biocomputing system.

The RTI at UMass Chan is seeking applicants for the newly established UMass Chan Early Independence Fellows Program and the Maraganore Early Independence Fellows track in the RNA Therapeutics Institute (RTI).
Program description:
The goal of the UMass Chan Early Independence Fellows Program is to recruit clusters of exceptionally talented junior scientists with the potential to become independent investigators at UMass Chan Medical School, and to provide them with career development, mentoring, and financial support to foster their scientific excellence and leadership. In recognition of diversity as a driver of innovation and scientific impact, we are committed to building and sustaining an inclusive environment with talented individuals from all backgrounds, including backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine and the biomedical sciences, who embrace a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in line with our institutional goals (IMPACT 2025).
Successful applicants will be brought on as a part of an interdisciplinary cohort. Fellows will join one of two tracks: The Maraganore Early Independence Fellows track or the Chan Early Independence Fellows track. The Chan Early Independence Fellows track will support two fellows who will develop an independent research program that broadly aligns with any area of excellence at UMass Chan. The Maraganore Early Independence Fellows track will support one fellow who will develop an independent research program in the areas of RNA biology or RNA therapeutics in the RNA Therapeutics Institute (RTI).
Key Details
Tracks: The Maraganore Early Independence Fellows (RNA biology, RNA therapeutics) and Chan Early Independence Fellows (any area of excellence at UMass Chan).
Eligibility:
Applicants should have a PhD, MD/PhD, or other doctoral degree and be within 24 months of completing their terminal degree.
Support:
Annual support of approximately $440,000, plus additional benefits including a childcare supplement up to $10,000.
Application Deadline: December 1, 2024 (priority consideration)
