PhD Student
Fully funded PhD position in cryo-EM/structural biology at University of Melbourne, Australia Full-time
There is an exciting PhD position available in my laboratory at the Department of Biochemistry & Pharmacology, University of Melbourne. Candidates with a background in structural biology (cryo-EM and/or X-ray crystallography)/computational biology/biophysics are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will investigate the structure and function of bacterial and viral molecular machines that are important for pathogenesis using integrative approaches including cryo-ET, CLEM and various cell biology and biochemical methods. To know more about our research programme please visit here: http://ghosallab.com/.
