PhD Position at MFPL Vienna I will start my group at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL) in Vienna in March 2019. I am currently recruiting a PhD student through the Vienna BioCenter PhD Programm (see below). Note: Only application through the Vienna BioCenter PhD program can be considered. The application deadline is November 15th. Project: My group is interested in unraveling the molecular mechanisms that allow the establishment of a robust RNA interference (RNAi) response in which small RNAs are used to silence the expression of genes. We are particularly interested in understanding how the nuclear RNAi pathway leads to heterochromatin formation. We will address these questions by reconstituting and characterizing the protein complexes involved in these pathways both biochemically and structurally. For the structural characterization, we employ an integrative approach by combining X-ray crystallography and single-particle electron microscopy. This will be complemented by biochemical approaches (enzyme activity assays) and biophysical assays (isothermal titration calorimetry, analytical ultracentrifugation, and spectroscopic methods).

Apply now to one of the best PhD Programmes in Europe! International PhD Programme in Molecular Life Sciences at the Vienna BioCenter<http://www.training.vbc.ac.at/> Empowering Curious Researchers The Vienna BioCenter (VBC) is a leading life science location in Europe: a thriving campus that combines basic research, universities and biotech companies. Our programme has been successfully running since 1994, providing students from all over the world with exceptional training. As a student at the VBC you will be supervised by top scientists and have full access to state-of-the-art facilities, thus giving you the opportunity to launch a successful scientific career. At the Vienna BioCenter you can do more, as we offer: * Fully-funded PhD Positions with competitive salaries * A multidisciplinary environment and full access to state-of-the-art facilities * A dynamic and collaborative scientific environment at the Vienna BioCenter. * English as the working language * A flexible curriculum with an initial training course, progress reports, as well as training in technical and complementary skills. * Students contribute to the management of the institutes, through representatives, and organize events that promote networking and career development, such as an annual retreat and a symposium. * Not only will you be in one of Europe’s best institutes, you will live in Vienna, which is rated as the number one city in the world for quality of life. Vienna is a fun, young city embedded in beautiful old buildings, an international metropolis in the heart of Europe. The campus: Four research institutes collaborate in creating an exceptional environment, where researchers have all the necessary resources to conduct meaningful projects: there is virtually no experiment that cannot be done at the VBC. The VBC PhD Programme is jointly organized by: Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP): www.imp.ac.at<http://www.imp.ac.at/>, Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA): www.imba.oeaw.ac.at<http://www.imba.oeaw.ac.at/>, Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI): www.gmi.oeaw.ac.at<http://www.gmi.oeaw.ac.at/>, Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL): www.mfpl.ac.at<http://www.mfpl.ac.at/> Eligibility criteria: The programme is run in collaboration with the University of Vienna. Applicants must hold a Master's degree or equivalent from a university in a related topic (or you will complete a master's degree within six months of the application deadline). We have two calls per year How to apply: We have two calls per year: Winter call between 15 September – 15 November; Summer Call between 1 March – 15 April All applications must be submitted online: https://www.training.vbc.ac.at/phd-programme/applications/ Visit our website or our social media channels for more information and updates: https://www.training.vbc.ac.at/ https://www.facebook.com/VBCPhdProgramme/ https://twitter.com/TrainingVBC https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4UetFcTZbVyCet7sJ7lIqg?disable_polymer=true ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
