The Nanoscopy division of the Maastricht Multimodal Molecular Imaging institute (M4I) at the University of Maastricht is looking for a PhD candidate in Structural Biology of Tuberculosis JOB DESCRIPTION Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Even though TB is curable, about one and a half million people succumb to it every year. Current treatments are long and with side effects: the need for new antibiotics and vaccines is obvious. We aim to understand how gene products or proteins work within their cellular environment in health and disease. Our institute houses a state of the art cryo-Light Microscopy/Electron Microscopy correlative workflow from cellular localization, milling with focused ion beam (FIB-SEM), down to cryo-electron tomography, subvolume averaging and image processing to study how these nano-machines work under native conditions. We seek a talented PhD candidate to join our interdisciplinary team. Our biology research focuses on unraveling, controlling and tempering the pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis at a molecular level. The applicant will apply biochemistry to purify and characterize molecular players in isolation. The structural characterization will be mainly done by single particle analysis. PhD Job Title: Structural insight in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis pathogenicity. PhD advisers: Peter J. Peters and Raimond Ravelli Organisation Unit: Nanoscopy division of the Maastricht Multimodal Molecular Imaging institute (M4I).
