Research Opportunities

Join our Research Group!

Are you passionate about structural biology, RNA-protein interactions, and cutting-edge research in gene regulation? At The Stefl Lab we offer an exciting and interdisciplinary research environment where students can work at the forefront of structural biology.

In our lab, you will work on fundamental questions in gene expression by studying RNA–protein complexes that control transcription, RNA processing, and RNA degradation. You will gain hands-on experience with modern structural biology approaches, primarily cryo-EM and NMR, complemented by biochemical and biophysical methods.

We provide a collaborative and supportive environment, close supervision, and opportunities to develop independent research projects.

We welcome students from backgrounds in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, or related fields. Prior experience is helpful but not required—motivation, curiosity, and willingness to learn are most important.

If you are interested, we would love to hear from you!

What we are looking for:

MSc in biochemistry, biophysics, biology, or a related field
Good computer skills (preferably Unix/Mac OS)
Basic knowledge of cryo-EM and/or NMR
Eagerness to learn and share knowledge
Motivated candidate able to cooperate in a team
Good communication skills in English

What we offer:

Modern laboratory facilities
Competitive projects (high risk, high gain)
Access to state-of-the-art instrument
Stable funding of research projects
Full access to scientific literature
Opportunities to attend workshops and training courses
Financial support for conference travel
Competitive salary
