Open PhD Positions
We currently have two fully funded PhD positions (E13 TV-G-U, 65%, 36 months) available in the group of Prof. Dr. Achilleas Frangakis. Both projects combine cryo-electron tomography, light microscopy, and structural biology. Please review the project pages for full details before applying.
Structural Analysis of the Kidney Slit Diaphragm
Resolve the molecular architecture of the glomerular filtration barrier in disease models of FSGS and minimal change disease using in-situ cryo-electron tomography and CLEM.
