About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher in structural virology at CEITEC, Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic.

The Pavel Plevka Research Group is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to join a project focused on structural virology, including the determination of particle structures and infection mechanisms of human picornaviruses, flaviviruses, and bacteriophages infecting pathogenic bacteria.

Additional strengths include tissue culture, genetic modification of bacteria and phages, programming skills, and a strong publication record.

This is a full-time ERC-funded postdoctoral position with an attractive salary and strong institutional support, including core facilities, flexible working hours, professional development, and a broad benefits package.

Eligibility: applicants should hold a PhD (or equivalent) in virology, structural biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related field, and be fluent in English.

Deadline: 31 August 2026. Start date: flexible.

How to apply: submit a CV, motivation letter, publication list, and contacts for at least two references via the e-application system. For technical issues, contact Darja Horáková at darja.horakova@ceitec.muni.cz.
