[3dem] PhD studentship at Birkbeck College, London

[giulia zanetti]

Dear colleagues,

a Royal Society funded PhD studentship has become available to work on 
cryo-EM/tomography of membrane trafficking proteins, starting in 
September 2015.


A major focus of my group is to elucidate the molecular architecture of 
the COPII protein coat, and in particular its regulation in the context 
of transport of large cargoes.To this end we use a combination of 
biochemistry and cryo-electron microscopy, from single particle analysis 
to cryo-tomography and sub-tomogram averaging.


My lab is part of the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology, 
Birkbeck College, London. The EM research labs at Birkbeck College 
constitute a vibrant community that enjoys access to world class 
equipment,including an F20 with a DE20 direct electron detector, and a 
Polara with a DE20 and a Gatan K2 detectors.


I am looking for a motivated student, who will learn to express and 
purify mammalian proteins using various expression systems, perform 
membrane budding reactions and gain experience in cryo-EM sample 
preparation, data collection and processing. Experience in protein 
biochemistry and/or structural biology would be desirable.


Interested applicants are encouraged to contact me for an informal 
discussion and should use the link below to submit their application 
(deadline 26th March 2015).
