<p><b>Graduate student positions in Biochemistry</b></p>
<p>The Prehna Lab is looking for enthusiastic MSc or PhD students to
join the Department of Microbiology at the University of Manitoba, Canada
(https://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~prehnag/).</p>
<p><b>Project:</b></p>
<p>Our lab studies how bacteria communicate with their hosts, how they
communicate with each other, and how they communicate with other
micro-organisms. The supported graduate student positions are aimed at
understanding the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) at the molecular level. A MSc
or PhD student will research the role of accessory proteins that modulate the
function of the T6SS(s) and how membrane proteins are loaded and secreted by
the T6SS using structural and biochemical techniques including x-ray
crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-EM. </p>
<p><b>Qualifications:</b></p>
<p>Applicants should possess or be near completion of a BSc degree in
Biochemistry or a closely related discipline, and be interested in both
biochemistry and microbiology. Some experience in molecular biology as well as
protein expression and purification is desired but not required. English
language skills, the ability to work in a team, willingness to learn, and good
organizational skills are required.</p>
<p><b>Application:</b></p>
<p>Applications should include: <b>1. </b>The applicant's CV <b>2.</b>
A one-page summary of their motivation for pursing graduate studies <b>3.</b>
Contact details for at least two references</p>
<p>The starting dates are May 2023 or September 2023</p>
<p>Please send application materials to: [email protected]</p>
