Department: Lukáš Trantírek Research Group – Central European Institute of Technology Deadline: 31 Mar 2026 Start date: To be negotiated, the sooner the better Job type: full-time Job field: Science and research Come to CEITEC MU in Brno and join us! We are passionate structural biologists (focused on NMR spectroscopy of nucleic acids) at CEITEC, looking for  Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Non-Coding Genome Research group About this position:  We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team! The research project will focus on developing fluorine NMR methodologies to unravel the nucleic acid conformational landscapes. G-quadruplexes (G4) and i-motifs (iM) are paradigmatic non-canonical nucleic acid structures that are abundant in the human genome and overrepresented in evolutionarily conserved and functionally important regions, including the telomeres, centromeres, and promoter regions of (onco)genes. They have been involved in pathobiological processes and the development of genetic instability-driven conditions, rendering them a fascinating subject within structural biology. This project will integrate ¹⁹F NMR and complementary biophysical assays on G-quadruplex- and i-Motif-forming DNA/RNA sequences to investigate their structural equilibrium, dynamics, and ligand binding interactome in vitro and in the intracellular space. The outcome will provide fundamental insights into the dynamic structural interconversion of non-canonical nucleic acid systems, enabling the fine-tuning of gene expression and associated cellular dysfunctions. We are seeking a creative and independent individual with documented research experience relevant to this position. We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds and are committed to fair hiring practices. The ideal researcher (EU Researcher Profile: R2) profile: Must-have: A PhD degree or equivalent in structural biology, Chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field. Expertise in biomolecular NMR and a strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals Experience in the sample preparation, acquisition, processing, and resonance assignment of multidimensional solution NMR spectra for nucleic acid/ protein systems and their complexes with small ligand-like molecules. Familiarity with NMR data acquisition and analysis for characterising dynamics is advantageous. Strong scientific writing and communication skills (publications, reports, presentations) in English. Motivated to establish an independent research direction within the group’s broad interests. Nice-to-have:  Nucleic acid labelling strategies (chemical, enzymatic synthesis, click chemistry basics) Complementary expertise in other biophysical assays to monitor biomolecular interactions/binding affinities (i.e. ITC, MST, BLI, etc.) Good communication and interpersonal skills. What we provide to you:  The position offers an exceptional opportunity to develop cutting-edge skills in integrative structural biology and to emerge in a highly translational research environment.
