About this position

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 applicants interested in structural biology, membrane proteins, microbial mechanosensation, and cryo-electron microscopy. The announcement does not specify funding details, but it is presented as a PhD programme opportunity. No explicit requirements such as a particular degree classification, GPA, or English-language test are listed in the post.

Deadline: Monday 23rd November.

Next step: follow the application link to find out more and submit your application before the deadline.
