Description: This new, international research project involves the study of the copper-containing enzymes known as laccases: Why did they evolve to their particular current structures, and how are these structures evolutionary optimized for stability and function under extreme environmental conditions, in particular high temperature?
The research area of computational protein evolution is of growing importance, because of the need to process increasingly complex information in the search for new industrial enzymes, both within academic research and within the private sector.
Requirements: Candidates must have-* a master’s degree in engineering or science or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree. Both theoretical and experimental skills need to be proven. Relevant theoretical skills: Computational biology/chemistry, mathematical modeling, biophysics, quantum chemistry, computers/programming. Relevant experimental skills: General Lab experience, protein chemistry, protein expression, mutagenesis, and/or screening.
Deadline: 15 February 2011
