A PhD position in protein biochemistry is available in the group of
Prof. Utz Fischer at the Institute of Biochemistry, Biocentre of the
Julius-Maximilians-University, Wuerzburg/Germany.
The successful applicant will work on the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN)
complex, the key player during the pathogenesis of Spinal Muscular
Atrophy (SMA). The work will comprise optimization of protein
constructs for crystallization, biochemical characterization and
protein purification. Finally, the post offers an excellent
opportunity to acquire crystallographic skills, as there are already
protein crystals available.
