Dear all, Please find below the advertisement for a PhD position in our research group: PhD Research position in Protein Biochemistry / Structural Biology, Kiel University, Germany. A PhD research position is available in the group of Axel Scheidig. Our research is focused on the biophysical, biochemical and structural characterizationof proteins involved in biotransformation processes. Based on our recent publications (Kubitza et al. 2018a, PNAS 115: 11958- 11963; Kubitza et al. (2018b) Acta Crystallogr. F74: 337-344; Kubitza et al. (2018c) Acta Crystallogr. D74: 422-432) the successful candidate will investigate enzymes with opposing effects (oxidation vs. reduction) on nitrogen- and sulfur containing endogenous as well as xenobiotic compounds. The successful candidate will employ a wide range of biochemical, biophysical and structural techniques including recombinant protein _expression_, protein purification, biophysical characterization (protein- protein interaction and enzyme kinetics) as well as X-ray crystallography. The aim is to understand the substrate selectivity and inhibition mechanisms at an atomic level. The prospective PhD student will have teaching duties in practical courses of biochemistry and molecular biology and must have good German language skills. Candidates with a strong interest in structural biology and profound knowledge molecular biology, protein _expression_ and protein purification (in theory and with practical experience)are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates are invited to apply by sending one PDF file to Axel Scheidig (axel.scheidig@strubio.uni-kiel.de). The PDF file must contain a one-page letter of motivation, curriculum vitae in tabular form (no more than 2 pages), Bachelor and Master certificate (including current transcript of records) as well as contact details of up to 3 reference persons. The official announcment of the PhD position can be found at: https://www.uni-kiel.de/personal/de/stellen/extern/wiss/dateien-extern-wiss/ausschr-strukturbiologie3.pdf The deadline for application is December, 14th 2019.
