Dear All (possible candidates!),
A 3 year PhD fellowship is available to a suitable candidate for one of the following projects involving molecular biology and structural biology techniques: Molecular characterization of the bio synthetic pathway of amylovoran, a pathogenicity factor in Erwinia amylovora Biomolecular study of iron uptake by desferrioxamine in the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora the work will involve cloning of genes, protein expression, purification and crystallization and structure determination by X-ray crystallography. Proteins will be characterized using in solution techniques including NMR available through collaboration with other laboratories.
