PhD studies in biochemistry/biophysical chemistry. The project will focus on physical-chemical studies of protein interactions with other proteins and themselves (aggregation). The studies are aimed at characterization and quantification of energetics and kinetics of interactions and discovery of new protein-protein interactions and/or oligomeric species during a process of aggregation. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with theoreticians.
Eligibility/Entry Requirements
Basic entry requirements for PhD studies are: a degree at advanced level, courses to an extent of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 at advanced level, or corresponding proficiencies. Special requirements for this position: Master of engineering in chemistry or biotechnology, BSc, MSc or some other form of Master exam in biotechnology, chemistry, molecular biotechnology or corresponding education. Undergraduate and advanced courses in physical chemistry are obligatory, and also profound knowledge in mathematics. Priority will be given to applicants with previous experience in (for example through diploma work or project) of biophysical studies of proteins, protein aggregation or protein gels with spectroscopy methods.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 2011-03-01
