The PhD project will involve structure-function studies of mitochondrial post-transcriptional regulators and RNA-binding proteins with helical repeats. In addition, the student must become familiar with all methods and services used at the Core Facility for Crystallography and Biophysics. The project will be highly collaborative with mentoring from foreign partners and lab visits to USA and UK. The PhD student will be offered a studentship of 4500 PLN gross (4000 PLN netto) for 35 months starting from 01.03.2018, with a putative extention for additional 2 years.

The technician will help with running all the methods, equipment, services and collaborations of the Core Facility for Crystallography and Biophysics. The technician will be offered a salary of 4000 PLN netto for 35 months starting from 01.03.2018, with a putative extention for additional 2 years. This includes a 3-month trial period.

This is an opportunity to join a young, dynamic team at a launch of a new facility with all the modern crystallization equipment (robots, plate hotel, home X-ray sources). The Biological and Chemical Research Centre is a brand new building which hosts also NMR and computational groups and provides excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary research. We also offer international collaborations and support for attendance at conferences.

To apply, please send your cover letter, CV and reference letters to Prof. Krzysztof Woźniak at [log in to unmask] (with a reference in the topic PhD-BIO or Tech-BIO) by February 11th.
