Dear All,
*PhD**position* is available in the research *group of Kristina
Djinovic-Carugo* in the Department for Structural and Computational
Biology, Max. F. Perutz Laboratories of the University of Vienna,
Austria. The lab uses an integrative structural biology approach
combining biophysical, biochemical and structural biology methods to
address fundamental questions on muscle Z-disk structure and assembly.
The project will focus on selected complexes of the a-actinin and
filamin C interactome.
The PhD student will be part of an International PhD Program in
Integrative Structural Biology (ISB Program) that offers a unique
training and research network to study the structure and mechanism of
complex macro-molecular systems involved in fundamental biological
processes.
The ISB Program integrates state-of-the-art structural, functional and
computational biology approaches with an emphasis on the implementation
of hybrid structural biology methods. It offers interdisciplinary PhD
projects, an innovative research-based training and mentoring program
and a supportive, collaborative research environment. The working
language for research and teaching is English.
*Key responsibilities include*
The production of protein using different expression systems,
purification of proteins, biochemical, biophysical and structural
characterization of the complexes using integrative approaches.
*Profile of candidates***
1. Solid knowledge and documented laboratory experience in at least one
of the following disciplines: structural biology, molecular biology,
biochemistry
2. Very good command of English (oral and written)
Highly motivated students with strong interest in structural approaches,
holding an academic degree equivalent to a Diploma or a Masters in
Biochemistry, Biophysics, Chemistry, or related disciplines are welcome
to apply.
