Doctoral | Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans - Part 26

One Postdoctoral and one PhD Position in Over-Expression, Biochemistry and Structure of Membrane Transport Proteins, Switzerland

/ January 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

Our vision is to assess the structure, supramolecular organization and dynamics of membrane transport proteins by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray crystallography (XRC). To this end, we clone, over-express, purify and crystallize transport proteins in 2- (2D) and 3-dimensions (3D). 2D crystals are analyzed by TEM/electron crystallography and AFM, while 3D crystals by XRC. Tasks of the successful candidates will involve cloning, over-expression and purification of pro- and eukaryotic membrane transport proteins for functional and structural studies. Our work is part of the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) TransCure – From transport physiology to identification of therapeutic targets.

Required qualifications The Postdoc / Ph.D. candidate should have a Ph.D. / Master degree in molecular biology or biochemistry. Experience with the over-expression in bacteria and yeast, and with the biochemistry of membrane proteins is compulsory. Experience with transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy or X-ray crystallography would be an advantage.
Scholarship Application Deadline: January 2011

Scholarship at Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Division of Numerical Analysis

Study Subject: Mathematics

Employer: Lund University

Level: Doctoral

Scholarship Description: The Phd student position is focused on research within numerical methods for parabolic evolution equations with applications.Within the department we are currently developing new methods for adaptive time-stepping, mainly in combination with finite element methods for space discretisation.Exponential integration and splitting methods have attracted considerable interest recently, and research could focus on both theoretical issues and practical aspects of algorithms and implementations.Collaborative projects with other departments may be included. The position also includes teaching at the undergraduate level.

Eligibility
Eligibility for a postgraduate education including PhD studies requires that the student has completed an advanced level degree covering 240 hp credits, with at least 60 hp credits obtained at the advanced level, or that the student has achieved a corresponding competence in Sweden or abroad.
