Doctoral student in biochemistry - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Work description

The research at the Division of Biochemistry and Structural Biology is focused on structural and functional studies of integral membrane proteins. The project includes production and crystallization of several membrane proteins with the aim to develop new methods for data processing and structural determination within X-ray crystallography. The project also includes experiments at synchrotron facilities. The successful candidate will be trained in the latest techniques in membrane protein structural biology.

Qualifications

Previous experience in protein purification and characterisation is required. Experience in working with membrane proteins,  protein crystallization, data collection at synchrotron facilities and structural determination using X-ray crystallography is a merit.

Eligibility
Students with basic eligibility for third-cycle studies are those who- have completed a second-cycle degree- have completed courses of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits are from second-cycle courses, or- have acquired largely equivalent knowledge in some other way, in Sweden or abroad.

The employment of doctoral students is regulated in the Swedish Code of Statues 1998: 80. Only those who are or have been admitted to PhD-studies may be appointed to doctoral studentships. When an appointment to a doctoral studentship is made, the ability of the student to benefit from PhD-studies shall primarily be taken into account. In addition to devoting themselves to their studies, those appointed to doctoral studentships may be required to work with educational tasks, research and administration, in accordance with specific regulations in the ordinance.

Type of employment
Limit of tenure, four years according to HF 5 kap 7§.
