PhD Porto EU- Marie-Curie network- Antibiotic translocation

[bolnúncios]

PhD position available in Porto Portugal in an EU- Marie-Curie network (RTN) on Molecular origin of antibiotic translocation.

Within EU-Marie-Curie Research training network ‘MRTN-CT-2005-019335 Translocation’ a position for 1 PhD (36 months) is available (30550 euros/year) in Porto, Portugal. Candidates should, preferably, have a Physico-Chemical/Biophysical formation, the work will be focus in the relevance of several spectroscopic (UV/visible, Fluorescence, NMR and EPR) and microscopic techniques (SEM, TEM and AFM) to unravel translocation of antibiotics across outer membrane proteins in model membranes (liposomes and proteoliposomes). The PhD work will be focus in the interaction of several cephalosporins in liposomes and proteoliposomes with protein OmpF, that is known to be an outer membrane protein very important in the transport of these antibiotics. Techniques will be mostly Uv/visible spectroscopy and fluorescence. Partition coefficients and location of antibiotics will be determined by methodologies already implemented in our laboratory and simple mathematic models will be used.
This projects will have a collaboration with several of our partner laboratories: biophysics at the International University Bremen (M.Winterhalter), physics at University of Cagliari (M.Cecarelli), microbiology at the Universite de Mediteranee (JM Pages), biophysics at the Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne (H. Vogel), engineering at Nanion in Munchen (N. Fertig) and pharmacological aspects at Basilea in Basel (P. Page).

Também tentei contactar a pessoa que se anuncia, mas não obtive nenhuma resposta por agora.

Obrigada,

Olá Ana

Eu recebi um mail da Sociedade Portuguesa de Biofísica no dia 18 de Outubro com este anúncio, pelo que penso que é para agora.
Boa sorte
