A position for a PhD student is available at the University of Groningen
to study the structure and function of proteins involved in sex pilin
biosynthesis. The research will be conducted in the groups of Dr.
Thunnissen (Laboratory of Biophysical Chemistry) and Dr. van der Does
(Department of Molecular Microbiology).
*Requirements:*
We seek a highly motivated and skilled researcher with a masters degree
in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology or similar and a keen
interest in protein structure and function. Knowledge and/or experience
of some of the following areas will be advantageous: recombinant protein
expression and purification, protein crystallization, structure
determination and molecular modelling. The candidate should have
excellent communication skills with good command of oral and written
English.
*Conditions of employment:*
