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 3000 PLN.
Successful applicants will be enrolled in a four-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 application deadline is July 18, 2009. Successful candidates are expected to start the programme on September 1, 2009.
