Centre de Biologie Structurale, Rue de Navacelles, Montpellier, France Available from: January 4, 2027 Send CV, Publications, Summary And References To Robert Quast & Tala Ali Khazaal at robert.quast@inserm.fr cc: tala.khazaal@cnrs.fr Position Information The “Biophysique Integrative des Membranes” team at CBS in Montpellier is looking for a master student for a 6-months intership from early 2027. The student will have to design fluorescent sensors targetting G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) in the brain to visualize and analyze their conformational dynamics . Missions
• Design and clone – Engineer receptor mutants by site-directed mutagenesis
• Express – Produce them in mammalian cells in culture
• Label – Attach fluorescent dyes at precise positions
• Purify – Isolate labeled receptors for in vitro measurements
• Watch them move – Screen your sensors by single-molecule FRET
• Analyze – Turn single-molecule data into conformational dynamics Candidate profile
• Master student in biology, biophysics, biochemistry, chemistry or a related field
• Curious, hands-on, keen to learn something new
• Comfortable working in English General information

Location:
Centre de Biologie Structurale, Montpellier Starting date: Jan–Feb 2027

How to apply
Send your CV, motivation letter, overview of grades and 2–3 referee contacts to: robert.quast@inserm.fr, tala.khazaal@cnrs.fr Thinking about a PhD? Competitive candidates willing to apply for PhD funding will be favored. Location
