Applications are invited from candidates with a suitable qualification in biochemistry or molecular biology (or a related discipline) for a four-year BBSRC-funded studentship on the mechanism of DNA recombination and transposition in the genomes of higher eukaryotes and/or bacteria. The laboratory works on several topics related to the applications and activities of transposons and other repetitive DNA elements. These elements are present in all organisms, and in higher forms have proliferated to account for some 50% of the genome. On one hand, their recombination activities are responsible for generating genetic diversity, while on the other they are responsible for inherited diseases. The projects will involve cutting-edge techniques in the areas of molecular biology and protein chemistry.
The project will be supervised by Professor Ronald Chalmers. Further details are available at: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/biomedsci/ and http://www.chalmerslab.org.uk/.
The successful student will be registered for a PhD (MPhil in the first instance) and will be affiliated with the multidisciplinary Institute of Clinical Research.
This studentship is available for a period of four years and provides a postgraduate stipend of £12,600 per annum.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Chalmers, Email: Ronald.Chalmers@Nottingham.ac.uk.
Applications, with a detailed CV and the names and addresses of three referees, should be sent to Professor R Chalmers, c/o Dr Rob Layfield, School of Biomedical Sciences, Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, NG7 2UH.
