PhD Programme in Structural Biology in Vienna
The Medical University of Vienna (MUW), the University of Vienna (UNIVIE),
the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) and the Institute for
Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) announce the opening of an International PhD
Program called "Structure and Interaction of Biological Macromolecules
(SIBM)".
All the participating institutions are located at the Vienna Biocenter (
<http://www.viennabiocenter.com> www.viennabiocenter.com), providing an
intellectual and scientific environment with a stimulating atmosphere of
discovery.
The program is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), the Medical
University of Vienna and the University of Vienna.
The PhD program aims at providing students with an in-depth,
interdisciplinary training in applying structural methods to the study of
biological interactions.
The research projects will be focused on:
. Host pathogen interactions (Dieter Blaas, Tom Marlovits , Tim
Skern)
. Cell cycle control (Jan-Michael Peters)
. Protein quality control (Tim Clausen, Robert Konrat)
. Membrane proteins (Tom Marlovits, Peggy Stolt-Bergner)
. Macromolecular assemblies (Dieter Blaas, Kristina
Djinovic-Carugo, Jan-Michael Peters)
. Posttranslational modifications (Andrea Pichler, Jan-Michael
Peters)
The techniques include:
. Protein Biochemistry
. Macromolecular Crystallography
. NMR Spectroscopy
. Cryo-Electron Microscopy
. Mass Spectrometry
Successful applicants will be enrolled in a three year program, expected to
conclude with the presentation and public defense of a PhD thesis. Doctoral
degrees will be awarded by the Medical University of Vienna or University of
Vienna.
The program is open to all candidates holding a university MSc degree (or
equivalent) in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, biology, or
related fields. The candidate selection is performed through an oral
interview and presentation. The entire program is in English.
Application deadline: June 30th, 2009. Selected candidates will be
interviewed in Vienna from 6th to 8th September, 2009 and will be expected
to join the program shortly afterwards.
