København N
Structural Biology and NMR Laboratory (SBiNLab), Department of Biology, UCPH, Denmark
The Structural Biology and NMR laboratory (SBiNLab), Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark, is looking for highly motivated PhD students to join projects on intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions (IDPs and IDRs).
The PhD positions are fully funded and for 3 years, starting on 1 April, 2026, or soon thereafter. Information on SBiNLab can be found at:
Our research
We focus on the interaction of IDPs and IDRs with other biomolecules and on how disorder help expand molecular communication. We aim to provide a detailed understanding of how structural disorder leads to regulatory diversity and how this diversity relates to biological function. We have state-of-the-art facilities for recombinant protein production and analytical tools such as CD, ITC, MST, nano-DSF, Q-TOF MS for biophysical and biochemical characterization. Our main techniques are biomolecular NMR spectroscopy, computation and biophysics and we have regular access to synchrotron SAXS.
Project description: We are looking for driven and ambitious persons, with an ability to work independently and in collaboration with other groups. The candidate should have a strong interest in pursuing a PhD degree in the field of protein science with a focus on IDPs and IDRs.
The project will address fundamental questions regarding protein-protein interactions involving IDRs. The goal is to define principles governing these interactions and includes heterologous expression and purification of proteins and characterization of their interactions using a range of biophysical methods and analyses, including biomolecular NMR spectroscopy as a main method.
Principal supervisor is Professor Birthe B. Kragelund, Department of Biology,
Profile
Qualifications: The person we are looking for should have a masters’ degree or equivalent in biochemistry, chemistry, structural biology or similar, providing basic theoretical and practical knowledge in protein science. Experience in working with recombinantly produced proteins and practical experience in computation, biomolecular condensates or recording and analyzing protein NMR spectra should be demonstrated through a MSc project.
The applicant must be fluent in written and spoken English. The candidate is expected to take initiative driving the project, but also to collaborate with the other members in SBiNLab. Emphasis will be given on personal qualities, including analytical capacity, accuracy, flexibility and collaborative skills.
Additional merits or desired skills: The ideal candidate have one or more of the following competences: expression and purification of proteins in E. coli using a variety of chromatographic methods, basic characterization of the proteins, computation, biomolecular condensates, biomolecular NMR and protein interaction techniques such as isothermal titration calorimetry or small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) are meritorious.
The selection is based on the following criteria: Completion of the above qualifications, grades in relevant courses, suitability of the courses to the research program, previous experience in working and/or performing research in the wider area that relates to the project described above. An integrated assessment of the applicant is generated to employ the best possible candidate that can succeed in the doctoral studies and contribute to a positive development of the department and the research program.
Place of employment
The employment is at Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, located in the Biocenter in the Northern Campus, close to the centre of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. SBiNLab joins three research groups located in the Copenhagen Biocenter at UCPH all interested in proteins and IDPs combining biophysics, NMR spectroscopy and computation.
Qualifications needed for the regular programme
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. biochemistry, chemistry, structural biology or similar. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.
Application and Assessment Procedure
Your application including all attachments must be in English and submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.
Please include:
Application deadline:
The deadline for applications is 19 October 2025, 23:59 GMT +2.
We reserve the right not to consider material received after the deadline, and not to consider applications that do not live up to the abovementioned requirements.
The further process
After deadline, a number of applicants will be selected for academic assessment by an unbiased expert assessor. You are notified, whether you will be passed for assessment.
The assessor will assess the qualifications and experience of the shortlisted applicants with respect to the above mentioned research area, techniques, skills and other requirements. The assessor will conclude whether each applicant is qualified and, if so, for which of the two models. The assessed applicants will have the opportunity to comment on their assessment.
