Exciting PhD Programme in Structural Biology
The Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences
(IChB PAN) in Poznan, in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute
for Plant Breeding Research (MPIZ) in Cologne, announce the opening
of an International PhD Programme in "Structural biology of plants
and microbes". The research projects will focus on the application
of protein engineering and protein crystallography to the study of
structural
aspects of plant biology and of host-microbe interactions. The programme
is supported by the Foundation for Polish Science through structural funds
of the European Union. The monthly fellowship is equivalent to about
1000 euros.
Successful applicants will be enrolled in a four-to-five-year programme,
expected to conclude with the presentation and public defence
of a PhD thesis, for obtaining a doctoral degree in chemistry
or biochemistry from the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish
Academy of Sciences. The programme is open to all candidates who have
a university MSc degree (or equivalent) in chemistry, biology, or a related
field. Candidate selection will be conducted according to the regulations
for the Graduate School of IChB PAN and will include an oral examination
in chemistry or biochemistry. The entire program is in English.
The recruitment will be conducted in two rounds, with the following
application deadlines: September 30, 2008 and July 18, 2009. Successful
candidates are expected to start the programme on November 1, 2008
and September 1, 2009. For more information about the application
