Opportunity for PhD students in Autophagy and Metabolic Signaling at The University of Fribourg, Switzerland

Offer details

The Dengjel and De Virgilio Labs at the Dept. of Biology, University of Fribourg are interested in cellular
signal transduction and protein homeostasis. We characterize molecular pathways critical for cell
homeostasis, autophagy regulation and autophagosome biogenesis and employ mammalian and/or yeast
cell culture models, protein biochemistry, and mass spectrometry-based proteomics (1-4). Current projects
are supported by third-party grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation and private foundations.

We look for highly motivated PhD students with interests in the areas outlined above. Excellent
communication skills in English are of benefit.

We offer:
