The
Department of Cell and Molecular Biology comprises several research
programs with about 150 researchers. Within the Molecular Biology
program there are currently 3 different research groups with a total of
about 25 researchers and students.
Qualification: Applicants should have passed Master degree or Civil Engineering exam in Molecular Biology, Applied Biotechnology, Molecular Biotechnology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics or other equivalent subjects. Candidates who have completed or are on the way to complete their degree project, but didn’t get the degree yet can also apply.The final decision will be taken after successful completion of the research studies.
Requirement: The applicant should have a strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry. Experience in doing project-work with ribosome or RNA is an advantage. Merits will be given for technical skills in RNA related work.Similarly, experience in protein folding projects and prion research will be a plus.For this project, the ability to work within a multinational group is important. The candidate must be able to communicate orally and in writing in English. The ability to teach in English and/or Swedish is important. The project will involve mainly biochemical analysis of the protein folding activity of the ribosome (PFAR). The focus of the study will be on the mechanistic aspects of the process to explain how PFAR is linked to the prion diseases.The role of certain antiprion drugs blocking PFAR will be studied in protein folding assay using sample proteins. There is no health hazard associate din this project. The main supervisor is Assoc. Prof. Suparna Sanyal.
Responsibility: The holder of the position will devote most time to research. The position will involve that the candidate performs other duties at the department, including teaching and administrative duties as required, up to a maximum of 20% of the position.
Employment in the position is dependent on the student fulfilling the requirements for entry and acceptance to the graduate education program. Requirements for graduate students are contained in the Higher Education Chapter 5, paragraphs 1-7, and in the University Rules and Regulations http://regler.uu.se/. Salary will be determined by local guidelines and practice.
The application, written in English, should include a letter of intent, curriculum vitae, copies of exams, degrees and grades, a summary of the Master’s thesis, references, a short description of the applicant and his/her experience. Letter(s) of recommendation may be included.
Further information about the position can be obtained from Suparna Sanyal, e-mail: suparna.sanyal@icm.uu.se. See also the group's website: http://www.icm.uu.se/molbio/.
Union representatives are Anders Grundstrom, Saco tel 018-471 5380, Carin Söderhäll, OFR-S/ST, tel 018-471 1996, Stefan Djurström, Seko, tel 018-471 3315.
