Job description
The Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn is an international research university with a broad spectrum of disciplines. 200 years of history, around 38,000 students, more than 6,000 employees and an excellent reputation at home and abroad: The University of Bonn is one of the most important universities in Germany and has been awarded the title of Excellence University in 2019.
The group of Prof. Günter Mayer at the LIMES institute, Department of Chemical Biology & Medicinal Chemistry, is inviting applications for a PhD student position (m/f/d) (65%) from the earliest possible date. Aufgaben: Within the Optoribogenetic project our group designed various aptamer-based light switches to control RNA functions within cells [DOI: 10.1038/s41589-019-0346-y; 10.1038/s41467-020-18673-5; 10.1002/anie.202009240; 10.1002/advs.202304519]. Optoribogenetic is highly interdisciplinary and opens up novel routes for spatio-temporal control of RNA functions such as transcription/translation regulation and mRNA processing.
The DFG-funded PhD project focuses on the exploration and application of novel light-dependent photoreceptors and aptamers.
