Job description

The aim of the project is to understand how intrinsically disordered proteins interacts with membranes and, thereby, to obtain a molecular understanding, by combining surface adsorption techniques such as neutron reflectivity and QCM-D with small angle X-ray scattering and computer simulations. Part of the project aims to develop coarse-grained and atomistic models and methods for studying protein-lipid interaction.

Qualifications

In addition to the mandatory requirements, documented experiences in the the following fields will be considered as strong merits:

  • Courses in physical chemistry, statistical thermodynamics, and surface- and colloid chemistry
  • Computer simulations on different level of details
  • Experience of above mentionded experimental techniques and measurements on international neutron- and X-ray facilities

 

Documents to include with the application: A cover letter (1/2-1 page) expressing a motivation for why you wish to perform a PhD education in theoretical chemistry at Lund University, and how the present research project matches your own research interests and scientific background.
