PhD Researcher in Faculty of Science at Utrecht University, Netherlands: Solid-state NMR: Ultra-high Sensitivity NMR on Protein Machines in a Cellular(-like) State (1,0 fte)

/ March 23, 2011 Leave a Comment

You will be part of a team working on the development and application of high-sensitivity NMR methods for the study of protein complexes in a cellular-like environment. You will employ dedicated and internationally unique NMR instruments that will enhance spectroscopic sensitivity by two orders of magnitude. Your studies will target protein machines that regulate elementary aspects of signal transduction and protein folding in a cellular setting. Using NMR, you will map conformational states of a membrane protein en route to its native folded state or during function in response to changes in the physiochemical environment. These experiments will allow you to obtain a comprehensive map of the conformational landscape of such a biomolecular machine in a native-like environment. Such information is of vital relevance to understand cellular viability and function and offers unprecedented structural insight at the interface of structural and cellular biology.

The successful candidate should have a Master’s or equivalent degree in chemistry, physics, or biology with a general interest in biophysics and spectroscopy. Experience in NMR or a related spectroscopic method is desirable.

Partner Studentships in Biology and Physics at University of York, UK

/ March 23, 2011 Leave a Comment

Partner Studentships offer a tuition fee waiver (at the home/EU rate) and a stipend. The studentship covers three years of full time PhD registration. The stipend is contributed by an external partner and is usually equivalent to a UK Research Council stipend (£13,590) for 2010-11. In addition, the Partner Studentship usually offers the opportunity to work with the external partner gaining valuable experience and career development at the same time as carrying out doctoral research. The eligible department will offer further guidance on the specific expectations of a particular Partner Studentship.
Eligibility: In order to be eligible you must:

  1. Have applied for a place on a full time PhD programme in the relevant Department.
  2. Have or expect to obtain a first or upper second class honours degree or equivalent prior to commencing the PhD degree.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 April 2011

Teaching Studentships offer a tuition fee waiver (at the home/EU rate) and a stipend of £5000. The studentship covers three years of full time PhD registration and funds the studentship holder for up to 6 months (paid pro rata) of their writing-up year. In addition, the Teaching Studentship includes a defined teaching role and training programme offering the opportunity to gain valuable experience and career development at the same time as carrying out doctoral research. The teaching workload, including training, preparation and marking time is usually expected to be around 50 hours. The actual number of hours depends upon the specific teaching studentship. The eligible department will offer further guidance on the specific expectations of a particular Teaching Studentship.
Eligibility: In order to be eligible you must:

  1. Have applied for and been offered a place on a full time PhD programme in the relevant Department.
  2. Have or expect to obtain a first or upper second class honours degree or equivalent prior to commencing the PhD degree.
  3. Applicants whose first language is not English must obtain an IELTS score of 7.0 or above (or equivalent) in the speaking component of the test.
