[3dem] Fully funded PhD position in Structural biology/ Cryo-EM/ AMR available at University of Leicester, UK

[abhinav kv]

Dear all,

A fully funded PhD position is available within my lab (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.akv-lab.com/__;!!Mih3wA!BuSIPaylkXRzEaM9ZLUxI3vKMvUWl3nQnVSsRM3u8izdcqvAWHyyOsF6rqzoUpLESZhSiu989XJGe60OE3db2w$ ) at the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology
(MCB) and Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology (LISCB),
University of Leicester, UK to carry out structural studies on large
macromolecular machines that undertake horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in
bacteria. This project has important implications on global efforts to
fight infections caused by persistent pathogens and combating
antimicrobial-resistance (AMR).



This interdisciplinary project offers the opportunity to work in a vibrant
interdisciplinary research environment and access to world-class research
facilities for structural biology and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).
It welcomes candidates passionate about structural biology, protein
structure-function, host-pathogen interactions, molecular microbiology, and
infectious diseases. The project provides the opportunity to engage in
interdisciplinary research, combining membrane-protein biochemistry,
molecular biology, biophysics, genomics, cross-linking mass-spectrometry,
bioinformatics, live-cell imaging, and structural biology (X-ray
crystallography and cryo-EM) to understand the molecular mechanisms
associated with these processes. Access to LISCB's cutting-edge microscopy
infrastructure, including the state-of-the-art Titan Krios 300 keV
microscope and a supportive, collaborative work environment enhances this
opportunity.



*Position details:*

This position is funded for 3.5 years and is available from September 2024. The
last date of application is 29th April 2024.



*How to apply: *
