A PhD studentship is available in Dundee to work in the laboratory of Bill Hunter. The project involves the application of crystallographic methods to support early stage drug discovery targeting bacterial pathogens. A series of targets are available and the student will be engaged in protein purification, structural studies and the application of screening methods to search out novel ligands and inhibitors. The lab in Dundee is well equipped for all aspects of the research. Some experience with membrane bound proteins would be an advantage.
The funding, which is available immediately, can only support a student holding a european passport and an honours degree, first or upper second, in a relevant subject. Please send a copy of your cv, names and contact details of three referees to Bill hunter (w.n.hun...@dundee.ac.uk<mailto:w.n.hun...@dundee.ac.uk>). The University of Dundee is a registered Scottish Charity, No: SC015096
