best regards Preben
Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM)
PhD Candidate in membrane protein chemistry
*Background:*
A 3-year PhD position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Preben
Morth. The position is funded by Norforsk (https://www.nordforsk.org/en)
and is a collaboration between Oslo, Lund and Copenhagen university. The
student will be expected to travel to either Lund or Copenhagen as part
of this study. The aim is to understand how the lipid environment
influences the activity of membrane proteins, using the active
transporter MgtA as benchmark system, and to investigate the dynamic
fluctuations between lipid and protein in solution.
**
*The candidate:*
We search for highly motivated individuals to work in the field of
membrane protein chemistry. The ideal candidate have previous experience
in membrane protein expression and purification for structural analysis
as well as experience with enzyme kinetics and the use of small angle
X-ray scattering (SAXS) or small angle neutron scattering (SANS).
Applicants with knowledge on membrane protein characterization using
biophysical methods will be prioritized. The candidate should be
self-motivated, have excellent interpersonal, communication skills and a
demonstrated ability to interact effectively with staff at all levels
within a multi-disciplinary team.
*The application:*
**The application should include:
1. A one-page statement of motivation and research interests
2. CV
3. Names and contact details of 2-3 references (name, relation to
candidate, e-mail and telephone number)
