Study of Dynamic Protein Complexes
Leiden University
The Leiden
Institute of Chemistry is part of the Faculty of Mathematics and
Natural Sciences of Leiden University. Leiden University is a member of
the League of European Research Universities.
Within the institute, in the section Protein
Chemistry an opening is available:
Ph.D. position for
the study of dynamic protein complexes (M/F), (38 hours weekly)
The dynamics of protein interactions
in the transient complexes of the photosynthetic proteins cytochrome f,
cytochrome c6 and plastocyanin will be studied with NMR and molecular
modelling. The project involves protein biochemistry, solution
state protein NMR and extensive modelling of the dynamic complexes
using molecular docking tools.
What we
seek.
We seek a highly motivated and talent individual
with a degree in biophysics or biochemistry, with proven affinity for
computational work in structural biology. Experience with NMR or
protein purification is an advantage.
We offer you an appointment for a period of one year
with a possibility for prolongation up to four years. The appointment
is for 1.0 fte.
The gross monthly salary is € 2.000,- in the first
year and increases progressively each year to € 2.558,- in the fourth
year in accordance to the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch
Universities (CAO Nederlandse Universiteiten).
You can apply for this position by sending your
application (with reference number) including a CV, three references, a
transcript of university courses with marks and a letter motivating why
you are interested in and suited for this project.
