Postdoc in catalytic RNA evolution and structural biology

Questions of how Darwinian evolution started are addressable with modern biochemistry. Applicants are invited for a 2-year postdoc position in the field of RNA synthetic biology at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University, Denmark. The project, termed Circles of Life (COL), explores the structural basis of natural and synthetic catalytic RNA complexes focusing on circular RNAs and their potential role at the origins of life. COL is funded by the Villum Foundation.

Expected start date and duration of employment

The starting date of the project is 01st October 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
