2011 PhD Studentship in Theoretical Chemistry, University of Lund, Sweden

PhD studies in theoretical chemistry directed at calculations of photoinduced chemical reactions. The work is aimed at development and use of quantum chemistry software for the understanding of the photochemistry of melanin and other pigments. The theoretical work is conducted in close collaboration with experimentalists using ultrafast laser spectroscopy.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: MSc in chemistry or physics or corresponding education. Knowledge of theoretical chemistry, chemical physics and scientific programming is meritorious.

Regulations for employment as a postgraduate student can be found in the Swedish Statute Book (SFS 1998:80). Only those admitted to postgraduate studies can be appointed to such a position. When appointing applicants to such a position, first and foremost their ability to benefit from postgraduate studies must be taken into consideration. In addition to pursuing postgraduate studies, the doctoral student may also perform other duties, including research, teaching and administration, according to the specific regulations.

Postdoctoral Research Associate – Membrane Pump Structure and Function, UK

Applications are invited from post-doctoral scientists to join a group directed by Professors Vassilis Koronakis and Colin Hughes, using molecular, biochemical, biophysical and structural biology approaches to study TolC-dependent tripartite pumps that direct (type I) protein toxin secretion and (multi)drug efflux by bacteria.

Applicants should have a PhD and a background in biochemistry and molecular biology, and experience in biochemical, biophysical and/or structural biology approaches would be beneficial. The successful candidate will apply biochemical approaches e.g. site-specific cross-linking, ITC, fluorescence spectroscopy, to study membrane proteins and complexes, and mechanisms of export and efflux.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 18 February 2011.
