Applicants for postdoctoral positions

The Kowalinski lab currently aims to fill postdoc positions in structural biology of RNA processing complexes. We are currently seeking a cryo-EM expert, as well as a candidate with an interest in medical applications, with expertise in protein and RNA purification and biochemical characterization.

The Kowalinski lab always welcomes fellows who would like to apply together with our lab for postdoctoral fellowships. Possible projects include, but are not restricted to, fundamental or applied research on RNA modification enzymes or projects combining protein-RNA biochemistry and large complex cryo-EM with parasitology. The working language in the lab is English; knowledge of French is not required.

In particular, in collaboration with the Boskovic lab at EMBL Rome, we welcome applications for an interdisciplinary postdoctoral project involving tRNA modification dynamics.

To inquire about postdoctoral positions, send a CV, an outline of interests and your fit to the lab, and details of at least two referees directly to Eva Kowalinski. For tips on preparing your application, watch this video. Please get in touch 6-12 months ahead of your desired starting date. Due to time management, generic inquiries cannot be answered.

Applicants for PhD positions

An ERC-funded PhD position on pre-mRNA processing will soon be advertised. Stay tuned!

Applicants for Master’s or Internship positions

We are always looking for great Master’s students on different projects involving protein-RNA complexes, biochemistry, structural biology, eukaryotic parasite biology or cryo-EM. A project period of 8-12 months should be envisaged. Please familiarise yourself with our past and current research, and send a CV and a motivation letter explaining why you are the best person to join our lab and why our lab is particularly interesting to you. Due to time management, generic, unspecific requests cannot receive a reply.
