PhD fellowship in Computational Protein Biophysics
PhD Project in computational methods for protein biophysics and structure
Department of Biology
Faculty of SCIENCE
University of Copenhagen
The Lindorff-Larsen group at the Linderstrøm-Lang Centre for Protein Science, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, Denmark invites applicants for one or more PhD fellowships in computational protein biophysics. The project aims to combine research in (i) the PRISM (Protein Interactions and Stability in Medicine and Genomics) centre that bridges protein biophysics and genomics and (ii) the ERC Synergy project DynaPLIX (Dynamics of Protein–Ligand Interactions) that aims to combine molecular modelling to quantify the dynamical pathways of how ligands bind to proteins.
Start date is expected to be 1. March 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. Details about the project, what we are looking for and how to apply can be found below.
The project
The PhD students will work on one or more of the subprojects within PRISM and DynaPLIX. We have recently developed predictive models for how genomic variation in protein-coding regions (protein variants) affect the stability and function of proteins, and are in particular interested in developing predictive models that can be interpreted in terms of specific biological mechanisms. We aim to expand this work to go beyond modelling proteins via static structures as dynamical properties are known to be critically important for function.
Research topics for the PhD projects include:
Who are we looking for?
We are seeking motivated applicants with an MSc degree in physics, biophysics, chemistry or biochemistry or similar fields, ideally with some prior research experience (e.g. through MSc projects) within one or more of these areas:
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The positions are part of an interdisciplinary research efforts called PRISM and DynaPLIX. The Ph.D. students will work in the group of Kresten Lindorff-Larsen, located at the Department of Biology in central Copenhagen. The group is also part of an interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment at the Linderstrøm-Lang Centre for Protein Science, and the Ph.D. students will work together with scientists from a number of disciplines. The group is highly international and a good level of spoken and written English is required. We offer creative working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Current members of the research group come from a broad range of scientific and personal backgrounds, and we value collaborations and interdisciplinary work.

Qualifications needed for the regular programme
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. , e.g. bioinformatics, computational biophysics, physics, chemistry or biochemistry. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.
Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.
Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. The position is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.
Responsibilities and tasks in both PhD programmes
