The Baumgarten Lab at the Institute Pasteur in Paris, France, is looking for a

PhD student

to join our “Parasite RNA Biology” research group. The position is intended for a student holding a MSc degree (or equivalent) and is fully funded for 3-years.

The overall goal of our research group is to resolve the function of variant ribosomal RNAs driving developmental progression of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.



The PhD work will focus on resolving structural heterogeneity of different ribosome populations using a range of functional genomic and cryo-electron microscopy approaches including single particle cryoEM and cryoCLEM. The project is embedded in a larger collaboration with the group of Simone Mattei at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg.

We are looking for a highly motivated student with a background in molecular/cellular/structural biology or biochemistry and prior experience in working in a research laboratory. Prior experience with the malaria parasites is not required. The candidate will receive a comprehensive training in molecular and structural biology, ranging from genome editing to advanced microscopy and next-generation sequencing.

The Baumgarten Lab is affiliates with the Departments of ‘Parasites and Insect Vectors’ and ‘Genomes and Genetics’ and is is located at the Institute Pasteur in the heart of Paris, France. The campus provides a state-of-the-art infra
