[Socbin] 2-3 open PhD Positions in Stockholm - biomembrane research

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi friends,

We're happy to announce 2-3 new PhD student openings at the  
Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics in Stockholm. Deadline is  
February 28, 2006. Please send questions and/or applications to Erik  
Lindahl, lindahl at sbc.su.se (+46855378564).


Example projects include:

1. Structure and Function of Ion Channels, using molecular simulation  
as well as bioinformatical methods to understand the molecular  
function of ligand- and voltage-gated channels, and how they differ  
between species.
2. 3D-modeling of Membrane Protein Structure, in particular  
developing implicit membrane potentials for scoring and ranking  
quality of models.
3. Studies and Prediction of Membrane Helix Dimerization,  
particularly model systems such as GlycophorinA, using simplified  
models to predicts interaction surfaces and free energies.
4. Mapping and Prediction of Interactions of Large Membrane Proteins,  
primarily with bioinformatics. Examples include prediction of  
membrane-exposed residues, helix-helix surfaces, and calculation/ 
prediction of interaction sites.

Additional information is available in the attached PDF!

Cheers,

Erik
