Umeå University is offering a 4-year PhD position to investigate mitochondrial protein quality control (PQC) mechanisms during ageing, within Dr. Andreas Kohler’s lab. The research will explore how PQC affects mitochondrial health and ageing, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system. The candidate will gain expertise in protein biochemistry, mitochondrial biology techniques, and PQC mechanisms. The position offers a collaborative, innovative environment with opportunities for scientific advancement and career development. Strong laboratory experience in molecular biology and protein biochemistry is required, with knowledge of PQC and mitochondrial biology being advantageous.
