PhD in Deciphering the Mechanism of Apicoplast Genome Organisation in Plasmodium falciparum (BBSRC Yorkshire Bioscience DLA Programme, CASE Project) University of Sheffield in United Kingdom

Coming soon at the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, The University of Leeds: two postdoctoral positions and one PhD position will soon be advertised. The research themes mentioned are outer membrane protein assembly mechanisms and cryoEM of amyloid. One postdoc and one PhD student will be linked to outer membrane protein assembly mechanisms, while one postdoc will focus on cryoEM of amyloid. The post is shared by Sheena Radford, Astbury Professor of Biophysics at The University o...

PhD opportunity in membrane protein structural biology at the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence , within the MIBTP PhD programme . The project focuses on how membrane proteins integrate physical and chemical cues by studying the structure and mechanisms of non-canonical microbial mechanosensitive channels . The work will be carried out with Benjamin Lane and Prof. Alan Goddard , in collaboration with Dr Emma Hesketh at the Midlands Regional CryoEM Facility . This opportunity will appeal to...

Research Associate on the structural biology of bacterial secretion systems at Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus, London, UK). This is a postdoctoral research opening in the Department of Infectious Disease , working with Prof Harry Low and the Low Lab on the molecular mechanism of bacterial secretion systems, including the Tad and Type 4 pilus systems. The project is strongly focused on structural biology , cryo-electron microscopy (SPA, in-situ SPA, tomography), TIRF microscopy ...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Chemistry, based in Norwich, United Kingdom, on carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), starch digestion, enzymology, NMR, biophysics, and structural biology . This project, supervised by Professor Yaroslav Khimyak with a collaborative supervisory team in the Khimyak/Koev/Warren labs, investigates how CBM identity influences starch-binding affinity and hydrolysis kinetics. The research aims to connect carbohydrate hydrogel structure ...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute, London, United Kingdom in regulatory switching of a microtubule motor-scaffold complex with Dr Sami Chaaban. This funded PhD project focuses on how microtubule motors , especially kinesins , organize microtubules and position regulatory proteins during cell division. The project asks how interactions with regulatory partners switch kinesins between functional states and how these changes shape specialized microtubule structures. Research methods in...
