Dear All, A 3-year PhD or 4-year MRes/PhD position is available in the recently established laboratory of Prof. Bert van den Berg in the Institute of Cellular and Molecular Biosciences (ICaMB) at Newcastle University, UK. The project will focus on elucidation of the mechanisms of energy-dependent uptake of complex oligo- and polysaccharides by members of the human gut microbiota. Applicants should have a strong interest in Biochemistry.
For more details and application instructions, please see: http://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=41882&LID=1125 For recent publication from the van den Berg lab please see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=van%20den%20Berg%20AND%20outer%20AND%20membrane Interested candidates can contact me for informal information, but applications should be made using the University’s online postgraduate application form. Best wishes and a happy 2013!

Projects focus on the biosynthesis and membrane translocation of nature’s most abundant polymers, including cellulose, chitin, and hyaluronan. Please have a look at our most recent publications for further details: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23222542 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22343360 The Zimmer laboratory is part of a newly created Center for Membrane Biology (http://pages.shanti.virginia.edu/Ctr_for_Membrane_Biology/), which offers excellent resources for crystallography, EM, NMR, EPR, SAXS, as well as single molecule fluorescence microscopy. Crystallization robotics for detergent- and LCP-based crystallization are also available. The successful candidate should be highly motivated, have extensive experience in molecular biology and protein expression and purification, be able to work independently while integrating well in a diverse research group, and should have at least one first-author publication in a peer reviewed scientific journal. Interested candidates can contact me directly ([email protected]) and should respond to the aforementioned posting. Sincere regards & Happy Holidays, Jochen _______________________________ Jochen Zimmer, D. Phil. Molecular Physiology & Biological Physics University of Virginia 480 Ray C.
