Dear All,
A PhD studentship at the Membrane Protein Lab (MPL) at Diamond Light
Source (http://www.diamond.ac.uk/default.htm) is available
immediately. The post will involve the structural determination by X-
ray crystallography of membrane proteins from eukaryotic cells
involved in various diseases and disorders. We have already cloned
and performed initial purification of various proteins.
The MPL (http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Science/MPL/default.htm) is an
Imperial College London outstation situated at the Diamond Light
Source, outside Didcot. The state-of-the-art lab is fully equipped
with purification systems and crystallisation robots for membrane
proteins. It specialises in the structural determination of membrane
proteins. Since the lab is part of Imperial College London, the
student will have the opportunity to develop his/her academic
knowledge by visiting the Department to attend courses and workshops.
The funding is only available to students who are eligible to receive
a BBSRC studentship (http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/funding/studentships/
index.html) and must meet the residency criteria.
The candidate must have a First class or 2:1 BSc or equivalent in a
subject of Biochemistry or Molecular Biology.
Potential students can contact me to discuss the project in more detail.
To apply please send a cover letter and a CV with contact details of
two referees to Dr Konstantinos Beis at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Best,
Kostas
