*PhD Programme in Structural Biology in Vienna*


The Medical University of Vienna (MUW), the University of Vienna 
(UNIVIE), the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) and the 
Institute for Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) announce the opening of an 
*International PhD Program in* ”*Structure and Interaction of Biological 
Macromolecules (ISBM)”. *

**All the participating institutions are located at the Vienna Biocenter 
Campus, (www.*viennabiocenter*.com <http://www.viennabiocenter.com>), 
providing an intellectual and scientific environment with a stimulating 
atmosphere of discovery.

**The program is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), the Medical 
University of Vienna and the University of Vienna.

**The PhD program aims at providing students with an in-depth, 
interdisciplinary training in applying structural methods to the study 
of biological interactions.


The research projects will be focused on:

· Host pathogen interactions (Dieter Blaas, Tom Marlovits, Tim Skern)

· Cell cycle control (Jan-Michael Peters)

· Protein quality control (Tim Clausen, Robert Konrat)

· Membrane proteins (Tom Marlovits, Peggy Stolt-Bergner)

· Macromolecular assemblies (Dieter Blaas, Kristina Djinovic-Carugo, 
Jan-Michael Peters)

· Posttranslational modifications (Andrea Pichler, Jan-Michael Peters)

The techniques include:

· Protein Biochemistry

· Macromolecular Crystallography

· NMR Spectroscopy

· Cryo-Electron Microscopy

· Mass Spectrometry

Successful applicants will be enrolled in a three year program, expected 
to conclude with the presentation and public defense of a PhD thesis. 
Doctoral degrees will be awarded by the Medical University of Vienna or 
University of Vienna.

The program is open to all candidates holding a university MSc degree 
(or equivalent) in biochemistry, molecular biology, chemistry, biology, 
or related fields. The candidate selection is performed through an oral 
interview. The entire program is in English.

Application deadline: June 30 2009. Successful candidates will be 
interviewed 6^th -8^th September 2009 in Vienna and will be expected to 
join the program shortly afterwards.
