Molecular Basis of Substrate Recognition by the Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis Machinery

Project: A fully funded 3-year PhD position is available in the WILD team at the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS) in Grenoble, France. The successful candidate will contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis. Our research combines in vitro enzymatic assays with state-of-the-art biophysical techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, to investigate substrate specificity and protein–protein interactions of key biosynthetic enzymes.

Application deadline: 31 October 2026

Post-doctoral position offers

Researcher / Post-doctoral Glycobiochemistry and Glycobiotechnology of Plant Cell Walls (M/F)

Missions: Analysing and building of plant cell walls in the context of plant parasitism
A post-doctoral position is available for up to 12 months renewed from January 2027 within the Checkpoint Cell Wall project funded by the Human Science Frontiers Program. The project brings together 4 groups from Tromso and Bergen (Norway), St. Louis (USA) and Grenoble to decipher how parasite plants invade the stems of their hosts.
Invasive cells penetrate and grow withing another organism by establishing new interfaces. For plants, this involves the cell wall which normally fulfil protective role but can be turn into a weapon at the heart of parasite's infection strategy. The project will focus on the interface between parasitic dodders (Cuscuta) and wild tobacco (Nicotiana benthamania) by analyzing, manipulating and modelling cell walls to recreate the intrusive cells and their interfaces.

Application deadline: 6 October 2026
