Job description: Offer DescriptionWe invite you to be a part of the EU Research Framework Program H2020 / Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions “WATER- Doctoral Network on Interfacial Water in Membrane Transport”.This doctoral training program offers an exceptional opportunity for highly motivated candidates to pursue cutting-edge research on the role of water in biological systems. The projects span diverse disciplines including membrane transport, structural biology, biophysics, synthetic chemistry, and biomedical applications.We look for students holding their master’s degree in (Bio)Physics, (Bio)Chemistry, Biological Engineering or Molecular Biology and interested in membrane biophysics and structure/function of mitochondrial proteins.You will be involved in the part project DC10:Water governing the dynamics of mitochondrial carriers of the SLC25 superfamilyThe project aims to evaluate the impact water confinement has on metabolite and putative water transport of uncoupling proteins, using conductance measurements of reconstituted planar bilayer membranes, stopped-flow spectrometry, confocal microscopy, isotope flux measurements, fluorescent microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations.Application deadline: 21 July 2025Please send your application (letter of motivation, detailed CV) toElena E.
