Umeå University is offering a PhD position focused on mitochondrial protein quality control in the context of ageing. The project involves investigating mechanisms of protein quality control (PQC) in mitochondria, which are crucial for cellular energy balance and functionality. The successful candidate will gain experience in protein biochemistry, molecular cloning, and mitochondrial biology, and work alongside experts in a collaborative environment. Applicants should have a strong background in protein biochemistry or molecular biology, with prior wet lab experience. The position is ideal for candidates interested in ageing and disease research.
