[ccp4bb] PhD position in structural biology available at University of Essex, UK

[Prischi, Filippo]

Ph. D. Student Position
“Flipping the switch; AtS6K2 signalling during stress”

A 3-year Leverhulme Trust funded PhD studentship is available, starting from 
February 2019, to work in the laboratory of Dr Filippo Prischi (University of 
Essex, UK) and Dr Marta Carroni (SciLife laboratories, Sweden). The successful 
applicant will be joining an internationally-renowned Research Centre

Scientific background
All living organisms have adopted ways to maintain internal equilibrium and 
respond to stress factors. Consequently, they have evolved tightly regulated 
signalling pathways, which can sense changes in the environment and elicit a 
response. In plants, like in most eukaryotes, the p70 ribosomal S6 kinases 
(S6Ks) pathway coordinates cell growth, cell proliferation, and stress 
response. Studies in Arabidopsis thaliana have shown that, similarly to in 
humans, the S6K family is composed of two members, called AtS6K1 and AtS6K2, 
which function differently. Little is known about AtS6K2 specific roles, 
despite initial evidences suggesting that it regulates responses to 
environmental stresses and developmental cues. The aim of this project is to 
unravel how AtS6K2 enables the plant to adapt to changes in the environment.

Research methodology
The successful candidate will carry out a biophysical, biochemical and 
structural characterisation of AtS6K2. Protein complexes structures will be 
solved using X-Ray crystallography and single particle cryo-electron microscopy 
(cryo-EM). The atomic details obtained from the 3D structures will provide 
unique insights into how AtS6K2 is regulated, and will contextualise and 
rationalise in vivo and biophysical data, thus providing structure-function 
relationship. This project will set the base for future studies on the human 
kinase and on plant productivity.

Training
This project is highly interdisciplinary and the successful candidate will 
develop skills in recombinant protein expression, protein purification, protein 
extraction from leaves, structural biology (X-RAY, SAXS and cryo-EM), and 
biochemical characterisation (SEC-MALS, fluorescence spectroscopy and SPR). As 
part of the scholarship the student will spend up to six months at the cryo-EM 
facility of SciLife in Stockholm to carry out data collection and analysis. In 
addition to hands-on practical research skills, generic professional skills 
development will be supported internally via Proficio, the innovative 
professional development scheme available at University of Essex, or externally 
via Diamond Light Source, CCP4 and BAC training courses.

Person specification
Candidates should have a background in biochemistry and an interest in 
structural biology. Candidates must have, by December 2018, a degree in 
biological sciences, biochemistry, or a related area (a first or upper second 
class honours degree is desirable). A further qualification such as M.Sc. or 
M.Res. is advantageous

Starting date: 1st of January 2019 or later.

Funding
The studentship covers tuition fees only for UK/EU nationals and provides a 
tax-free stipend of £14,777 per year.

To apply, please send a copy of your CV, and covering letter describing why you 
are suitable for this PhD studentship directly to Dr Filippo Prischi 
(fpris...@essex.ac.uk) by 1st October 2018.
