[RASMB] PhD studentship available in NCMH (again)

[Dj Scott]

 Hello All,
Due to a change in funding I am now able to offer a PhD studentship in
the National Centre for Macromolecular Hydrodynamics at the University
of Nottingham that applicants that are from any EU country (previously
we were unable to offer this outside of the UK).
If you know of anyone who would be interested, please let me know, or
encourage them to apply. The position is open until filled.
 
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 University of Nottingham and is open to all EU
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.
