Dear All,
ERC project: Dynamical Redesign of Biomolecular Networks
Applications are invited for 4-year PhD studentships in the Rosta
group at King’s College London, to start on or after April 2018.
The positions are funded via the ERC Starting Grant: Dynamical
Redesign of Biomolecular Networks.
We will develop novel theoretical frameworks to address catalytic
efficiency and to establish molecular design principles to key
design problems for new bio-inspired nanocatalysts. and to
identify and characterize small molecule modulators of enzyme
activity. This is a highly interdisciplinary project that will
enable fundamental advances in molecular simulations and unveil
the physical principles design and control catalysis.
For inquiries, please send a CV and a short statement of interest
to Dr. Edina Rosta at [log in to unmask]. Applications are
currently considered until the position is filled.

Crick project: Computational and experimental dissection
of divergently evolved enzymes
A collaborative 4-year PhD project is available between the Rosta
group (KCL) and the Carvalho laboratory (TFCI). The successful
student will employ a range of experimental as well as
computational methods such as mixed quantum/classical molecular
dynamics calculations and Markov-based analysis methods to
investigate substrate specificity and reaction mechanisms derived
from enzymes that diverged from a common ancestor. The project
intends to explore a selected number of enzymes, which despite
sharing a common ancestor, likely have distinct enzymatic
activities.
The application deadline is 12:00 noon (GMT) on Tuesday 14
November 2017.
