Applications are invited from highly motivated students for admission to the PhD programme in the Structural Molecular Biology <http://faculty.iisertvm.ac.in/natesh/> lab of Dr. Ramanathan Natesh in the area of Infectious Disease (*Mycobacterium tuberculosis* and *Plasmodium falciparum) and DNA Damage Repair, * Under the Ph.D. Programme of Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram (IISER-TVM), India, starting August 2018.
For eligibility and how to apply go to : http://www.iisertvm.ac.in/pages/phd_admissions.phpx * Last date of receipt of the application form: 30th April 2018 The successful applicant will clone, express and purify proteins and protein complexes for characterisation using single particle cryo-electron microscopy and protein crystallography along with range of other biophysical (DLS, MALS, CD, Fluorescence etc.), biochemical and molecular biology techniques. We are looking for candidates with strong interest in structural biochemistry. Ideally, these candidates will have prior expertise in protein expression and purification. Prior knowledge of cryo electron microscopy and / or protein crystallography or biophysical methods is a plus. We have excellent facilities for doing Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Protein Crystallography and Single Particle cryoEM : See http://faculty.iisertvm.ac.in/natesh/index.php/sample-page/ Note that students who have qualification in one of the national level tests, listed at the above application link* are eligible to apply online. If you are not eligible and not residing in India and you are still interested in our Structural Molecular Biology PhD programme, please get in touch with me by e-mail at “nates...@hotmail.com” to informally discuss about your research plans in our lab.
