We are excited to announce a new PhD position in the Stieglitz Lab exploring how pathogenic effectors hijack and rewire the ubiquitin system to subvert innate immunity during infection. This interdisciplinary project will combine quantitative biochemistry with structural methods including cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography to define enzyme specificity and mechanism at atomic resolution. The studentship is open to applicants eligible for China Scholarship Council funding and based within Queen Mary’s Centre for Structural Biology. Applications close on 28 January 2026. More details about the project and how to apply can be found here.
