PhD student position in structural biology
A PhD student position in structural
biology is open and presently available at the University of Hamburg, Institute
of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
The research project in which the
candidate will be integrated is in collaboration with a research group from the
Center for Structural Genomics of the University of Sao Jose de Rio Preto,
Brazil.
It is entitled “Applied snake venom proteomics/Venomics” and funded by the
GermanResearch Foundation (DFG). The
main goal of this project is to determine the proteomic compositions of
selected snake, insect and spider venoms and the structural and functional
characterization of the novel proteins. The project will be important for the
production of specific antivenoms with increased efficacy and development of
novel drugs for the therapy of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, arthritis and
allergy.
The activities of the successful candidate
will include isolation and purification or cloning and expression of novel
proteins from snake and insect venoms, crystallization and X-ray structure
analysis to high resolution. The position would be ideal for applicants having
a diploma or master's degree in biochemistry, chemistry, biophysics. A good
understanding of protein biochemistry and molecular biology is supportive and a
strong interest in protein crystallography is a plus.
The hosting laboratory of the University
is on the DESY Campus.
Letters of application including a CV, and
1-2 references should be sent by e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or as
hardcopy to the address below. In case further information is required, contact
the same e-mail address.
