The Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (DTU Bioengineering) at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is offering a PhD Scholarship in the High Throughput Exploration of the Sequence-dependence of Protein Aggregation.
About the position:
- The position is available in newly established research group of Prof. Alexander K. Buell, to start as soon as possible.
- The research group will be situated within the section of Protein Chemistry and Enzyme Technology, where world-leading expertise in protein chemistry and structural biology is concentrated.
- The applied methods include protein engineering as well as various spectroscopy, scattering, biosensing and microfluidics techniques and we work on a wide variety of proteins, from simple model systems to disease-related proteins.
- The overall aim of the research is to achieve a profound mechanistic understanding of protein and peptide assembly into ordered (fibrillar, crystalline) and disorderd (amorphous, liquid droplet) condensed phases and of the physico-chemical factors that drive it. To achieve these goals, we also collaborate with structural, computational and medical biologists.
Qualifications:
- Applicant must hold a two-year master’s degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master’s degree in either Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biology, Biotechnology or a related field, and should ideally have carried out an experimental Master’s thesis, where he/she has gained experience with recombinant protein technology.
- Excellent candidates with theoretical/computational research experience can also be considered.
- Applicant must be interested in the quantitative study of biomolecular systems in vitro and the analysis of large data sets
- Applicant must have an excellent academic track record and be highly motivated to work on a challenging research project
Applications:
Apply online via the application portal and include the following (in English):
- A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
- CV
- Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma
- Names and contact details of 2 academic referees
