Hello All (again)
Let me post that PhD advert again, this time without the spelling
mistakes and large grammatical errors:
PhD Studentship in multi-scale solution structure analysis and modelling



One of the major challenges of modern structural biology is the
structural determination at high resolution of biomolecules that are not
amenable to crystallography or NMR. This includes biomolecules that are
natively unstructured and large dynamic assemblies. The challenge in
tackling these systems lies in combining a range of structural and
biophysical techniques into an integrated approach capable of utilising
both low resolution and high resolution techniques in combination.


This research will be carried out between the Rutherford-Appleton
Laboratory at Harwell (UK) and the National Centre for Macromolecular
Hydrodynamics at The University of Nottingham (UK). The student will be
trained in and utilise a wide range of structural and biophysical
techniques including small angle scattering, analytical
ultacentrifugation, protein crystallography, High-field NMR, small angle
x-ray and neutron scattering and protein expression and site-directed
mutagenesis. In addition they will be closely involved in the
development of modelling approaches to combine the data from these
techniques to produce cohesive models of large scale and/or flexible
structures.


The position is jointly funded by the Science and Technology Funding
Council (STFC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research
Council (BBSRC), two of the major funding agencies in the United Kingdom
and is open to all UK nationals. The position would suit biochemistry or
chemistry graduates with an interest in biological structure as well as
graduates in physics or computer science interested in expanding the
application of their skills into the practical sciences.

Cameron Neylon (cameron.neylon at stfc.ac.uk) or Dr. David Scott
(dj.scott at nottingham.ac.uk).
