Biological Structure Determination using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance The 3 year project will investigate biomacromolecular structure using spin labelling and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques.
The project will include involvement in all aspects of the study from molecular biology to EPR measurements and computer aided data analysis. You will be developing techniques to make them readily applicable to a range of biological problems by investigating real biological systems. Much of the work will be collaborative with groups from across the UK. There is flexibility within the project for the student to concentrate on aspects they are particularly interested in but they will be encouraged to learn a range of skills from biochemistry to physics. Candidates should expect to obtain an upper second or a first class (or equivalent) undergraduate degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics or a related subject. Applications will be considered until the post is filled with the position starting Autumn 2011. Please apply by sending a CV and the name of two referees to janet.lov...@ed.ac.uk Please note that this is an EPSRC funded studentship and as such full funds are only available to residents of the UK though EU nationals are eligible to receive fees only (no living allowance). Please see http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/funding/students/Pages/eligibility.aspx before applying. -- Dr Janet Lovett Royal Society University Research Fellow School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh, EH9 3JJ Tel: 0131 6504825 http://www.chem.ed.ac.uk/staff/academic/lovett.html --
