Applications are invited for a three-year University of Leeds 110-year Anniversary Ph. D. studentship to work in the Goldman and Muench groups.
The project will involve structural and functional studies of integral membrane pyrophosphatases, focussing on ones from pathogenic parasites such as Leishmania and Toxoplasma. The goal will be to solve the structure of one of these proteins, and use the resulting structure for drug design with collaborators in Chemistry. Candidates with a strong background in parasitology and crystallography as an undergraduate are encouraged to apply. The deadline for applications is April 21st at 4pm, because the funding scheme closes on April 28th. Interested applicants should fill in the web form at: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://www.leeds.ac.uk/rsa/postgraduate_scholarships/UoLARS-AppForm14&k=7DHVT22D9IhC0F3WohFMBA%3D%3D%0A&r=SybxPBBuwtF1%2BkyzbVqM24zfDv%2FlkGA%2BD7nn1MMA5Xo%3D%0A&m=izuVxNVhpuUU8PMds6TAuIpyPZcXEYrAcbr1g1liYsQ%3D%0A&s=019501d4b704758630d7614492f89e9f9f65f3cd5bc83fe70ef7eda3ca9dda63 and send an email to a.gold...@leeds.ac.uk and s.p.mue...@leeds.ac.uk. Informal enquiries can be addressed to both Goldman and Muench at the addresses above. Adrian Goldman and Stephen Muench
