Fully funded Ph.D. studentships are available from
October 2005.
If you are fascinated by Statistical Mechanics and
Thermodynamics, and are looking for an interesting
topic, you may wish to consider spending your PhD
studies in my group. The projects are about the basic
driving forces beneath biochemistry. Water plays a
central role in a wide range of biochemical phenomena.
However, its role is still not well understood. Armed
with statistical thermodynamics, our aim is to
understand a wide range of questions - from the
driving force protein folding and protein-ligand
binding to the mechanism of survival under extreme
conditions - all of which depends on water.
There are two projects available: one is mainly
computational/theoretical, another is experimental.
Unfortunately, the studentships are only for british
citizens.

Previous knowledge of biochemistry/biophysics is a
plus, but not necessary. Even if you do not know
anything, do not worry about it. The change of
research field will be a fruitful experience.
