[ccp4bb] 3 PhD studentships in the Centre for Structural Medicine, QMUL

[Vidya Darbari]

Could you please forward the following PhD studentship opportunities to 
suitable candidates?


The newly formed “Centre for Structural Medicine” (joint between the 
Schools of Biological and Chemical Sciences and Medicine and Dentistry) 
is seeking PhD applicants for their fully funded mini Centre for 
Doctoral Training (CDT) on Overcoming drug-resistant microbial infection 
– Targeting the power of Molecular Machines to start in September 2020. 
Our Centre incorporates 13 academics and their research groups (each 
student will be jointly supervised).


Deadline: 31st January 2020

The PhD students will investigate the architecture and function of 
molecular machines essential for microbial infection. These will aim to 
pinpoint novel and functionally critical protein-protein interactions, 
evolve/screen for biological therapeutics that inhibit these 
interactions and thus discover new lead antimicrobials. The mini-CDT 
will be divided into the following themes: molecular machines important 
(i) pre-infection, (ii) during infection and (iii) post-infection.


Funding: Three studentships are available. The studentships are open to 
UK/EU applicants and are funded by Queen Mary University of London. The 
funding will cover tuition fees, and provide an annual tax-free 
maintenance allowance for 3 years at the Research Council rate (£17,009 
in 2019/20).


Informal enquries can be sent to Dr Ewan Main (e.m...@qmul.ac.uk 
<mailto:e.m...@qmul.ac.uk>). Formal applications should be submitted 
through the online form by the stated deadline. Applicants should 
identify their intended funding source as 'CfSM mini-CDT' within the 
online application form to ensure it is clear that they wish to be 
considered for these studentships.
