We are seeking a PhD student to
become part of the Infection Microbiology Group in the Department of
Systems Biology at the Technical University of Denmark.
Job descriptionThe successful candidate will be working on a project concerning characterization of gene regulatory proteins in clinical isolates of infecting bacteria. The position is part of a team of scientists working with long-term infection of bacteria in human airways.?A key objective of the PhD project is to investigate mutations in gene regulatory proteins and determine their effects on protein functionality/activity. This is accomplished using a combination of biochemical and molecular methods such as genome-wide mapping of transcription factor binding sites.
The wider context of the project: See Yang et al (2011) PNAS 108(18):7481-6
QualificationsMasters degree or equivalent in relevant field.
Preference will be given to candidates with:
Experience in genetic engineering of bacteria, molecular biology, cloning technologies, and knowledge about proteins and associated immunological methods (antibody development, Western blotting, etc.).
Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.
