Phd Student in Membrane Biochemistry

vor 2 Wochen


Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Vollzeit

Institution: Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Start of employment: spring 2024 or as agreed
Employment: up to 4 years

PhD project

In all life forms, biological membranes separate the contents of different compartments. Transport of molecules and communication between these compartments and thus across membranes are vital. These tasks are performed by many membrane proteins, which are the targets of more than 50% of modern drugs, making their molecular mechanism interesting for both basic and applied research.

For the current position, we seek a highly motivated PhD student that
- continues our currents efforts to use giant unilamellar vesicles generated by microfluidics or other methods as model systems for membrane protein investigation
- establishes a bottom-up experimental system that mimics basic cellular functions, e.g. energy regeneration, pH or ion homeostasis, drug degradation, etc.

Education

If you like to disassemble things and try to reassemble them and get them running again... that is a good start

We offer

We offer an exciting and timely scientific project with excellent technical facilities in the heart of the Swiss capital. National and international collaborations guarantee a fruitful exchange with other researchers. We provide a friendly and open working atmosphere with mutual respect, where own ideas can grow.

The estimated PhD project time is 3 to 4 years and the salary (47 - 50 kCHF) is according to the regulation of the Swiss National Science foundation.
