PhD fellowship in x-ray and neutron macromolecular crystallography: joint position at NCSU and ORNL
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship in x-ray and neutron macromolecular crystallography in the laboratory of Dr. Flora Meilleur in the Molecular and Structural Biochemistry Department at North Carolina State University (NCSU) and the Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Research will focus on the elucidation of enzymatic mechanisms using a combination of high-resolution x-ray and neutron crystallography. Interested candidates should hold a BS or MS degree and have a strong background in biochemistry, biophysics, or a related discipline. Previous experience in molecular biology and protein purification is a plus.
The successful candidate will complete the graduate training program at NCSU, in Raleigh, North Carolina, during the first year and will be located at ORNL for the remainder of the fellowship.
This fellowship is supported in part by a National Science Foundation IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program) award. The application requires United States residency.
Interested candidates should submit their application at www.ncsu.edu/grad/applygrad.htm.
