Nauka na UMCS

Faculty of Biology & Biotechnology is delighted to announce an opening for a PhD student position as part of their research endeavor, titled "Deciphering the ribosome inactivating proteins modus operandi at the molecular and cellular levels" This project is funded by the National Science Centre (NCN).

 Apply today! -- DEAD LINE - 20 August 2024 

The project is dedicated to exploring the molecular and cellular dynamics of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs). The PhD candidate will engage in multidisciplinary research spanning biochemistry, biophysics, and structural biology, specifically using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to study molecular interactions between RIPs and eukaryotic ribosomes. Specialized responsibilities for the PhD candidate will encompass: designing genetic systems for the heterologous expression of a range of RIPs; purifying recombinant proteins through biochemical methods; investigating protein-protein interactions; especially, the candidate will be involved in preparation of protein complexes for in-depth structural analysis using the cryo-EM methodology and data processing as well.

 Principal Investigator - Przemysław Grela, PhD (Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin). To apply please send CV, a motivation letter, copy of MSc diploma, two academic reference (including direct supervisor) to Przemysław Grela (przemyslaw.grela@mail.umcs.pl)
