Dear all, A fully funded PhD position is available within my lab ( https://www.akv-lab.com/) at the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) and Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology (LISCB), University of Leicester, UK to carry out structural studies on large macromolecular machines that undertake horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in bacteria. This project has important implications on global efforts to fight infections caused by persistent pathogens and combating antimicrobial-resistance (AMR).
This interdisciplinary project offers the opportunity to work in a vibrant interdisciplinary research environment and access to world-class research facilities for structural biology and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). It welcomes candidates passionate about structural biology, protein structure-function, host-pathogen interactions, molecular microbiology, and infectious diseases. The project provides the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary research, combining membrane-protein biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, genomics, cross-linking mass-spectrometry, bioinformatics, live-cell imaging, and structural biology (X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM) to understand the molecular mechanisms associated with these processes. Access to LISCB's cutting-edge microscopy infrastructure, including the state-of-the-art Titan Krios 300 keV microscope and a supportive, collaborative work environment enhances this opportunity. *Position details:* This position is funded for 3.5 years and is available from September 2024. The last date of application is 29th April 2024. *How to apply: * More details on the project can be found here: https://le.ac.uk/study/research-degrees/funded-opportunities/liscb-mcb--akv To know more, visit our website: https://www.akv-lab.com/.
