Hello!
Check out this exciting new PhD opportunity to study membrane-mediated protein self-assembly!

The group of Protein Design and Self-Assembly at the Life and Medical Sciences Institute, University of Bonn is offering a PhD position (TV-L EG 13 50%) to study membrane-mediated protein self-assembly.

The Khmelinskaia lab has a novel hybrid approach to study protein self-assembly: we combine de novo computational protein design and in vitro biophysical characterization to dissect the physical principles behind this ubiquitous phenomenon. In this project, we aim to understand the fine balance between protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions, protein structural flexibility and membrane elasticity that allow for the formation of curvature inducing protein coats, involved in a number of important biological processes such as viral envelopment and endocytic signaling pathways. De novo designed proteins can not only recapitulate the self-assembling behavior of natural systems but are also more resilient to modification then their natural counterparts, while in vitro model systems allow us to investigate the process in a controlled environment. We use computational tools, such as Rosetta based protein design and structural predictions, to create protein scaffolds with precise properties and characterize their assembly pathways in vitro using structural biophysical methods, model lipid membranes and microcopy techniques. We aim to capture the behavior of naturally occurring systems and further map out the possible assembly space.

Your profile
• Enthusiasm for research in a collaborative environment
• Strong interest in solving fundamental biological problems
• Experience in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, physics, biophysics and/or computational biology (Master’s degree or equivalent)
• Excellent degrees and track record
• Very good communication skills (English)

We offer
• Challenging projects at the interface of biophysics, molecular biology and computational biology
• A stimulating, multidisciplinary and international research environment
• Supportive mentoring
• Salary will be according to the German salary scale TV-L EG 13
• A “Jobticket” (subsidized public transport) is available
• There is also a possibility to use the day care center
• Supplementary benefits in the public sector (pension plan according to VBL)
• numerous offers of university sports

Contact information
We welcome people from all backgrounds to join our lab! To apply, please send your CV, short motivation letter and contact information of 2 scientific referees to Alena Khmelinskaia via e-mail ([email protected]).

Good luck for your application :)

Type I diabetes patients have unique TCR- and BCR-positive lymphocytes, in which a public BCR encodes a potent autoantigen that stimulates autologous CD4 T cells and may contribute to autoimmunity.

Important and exciting news, everybody! You have the power to make it happen - the "culture ticket". This coming week, January 14 - 17, you can vote for the Kulturticket as part of the student parliament elections. The ticket would allow all students of the Uni Bonn to purchase tickets to events at participating institutions for only 3€ or possibly even for free (availability of tickets can be checked online prior to the event). Introducing the ticket would only increase the Semesterbeitrag by 3€. Sounds good? Then go, cast your vote!

KULTURTICKET - Was ist das?

Das Kulturticket ist ein Projekt des AStA Uni Bonn, das durch Kooperationen Studierenden den Zugang zu kulturellen Institutionen in Bonn und Umgebung vergünstigt oder sogar kostenlos ermöglichen möchte. In Kooperation mit der Bonner Theaterlandschaft wurde im Sommer 2018 der Entwurf erarbeitet, dass Studierenden der Universität Bonn Karten für 3 € an der Abendkasse erwerben können und durch eine eigens entwickelte App vorab über die Verfügbarkeit der Karten an der Abendkasse informiert werden. Damit die Theater dies gewährleisten können, fällt eine zusätzliche Schutzgebühr von 3 € im allgemeinen Semesterbeitrag an.

Wer ist mit dabei?

Zu den Partnern zählen das Theater Bonn (Theater Bonn), Junges Theater Bonn (Junges Theater Bonn), Pantheon (Pantheon-Theater Bonn), Contra-Kreis-Theater (Contra-Kreis-Theater), Euro Theater Central (Euro Theater Central), Theater Marabu (Theater Marabu), Haus der Springmaus (Haus der Springmaus) und das Theater im Ballsaal (Theater im Ballsaal)

Ihr habt die Wahl!

Die Einführung des Theater-Kulturtickets und die darin enthaltene Erhöhung des Semesterbeitrages muss durch eine Urabstimmung von der Studierendenschaft abgestimmt werden!

WANN?
vom 14. - 17. JANUAR 2019 bei den Hochschulwahlen!!
