PhD position in Lille, Receptor-ligand interactions at the self-incompatibility locus in Arabidopsis
Type d'annonce : Offre de thèse
De : Unité de Glycobiologie Structurale et Fonctionnelle , Villeneuve d'Ascq - site internet
The objectives of the PhD project are to explore sex-locus compatible and incompatible pairs to study their complexes using experimental structural biology and biophysical interaction techniques. The candidate will optimize recombinant protein production of pollen and pistil proteins in the more suitable expression system (insect and plant cells). The project will be in close connection with another funded PhD project in the Evo-Eco-Paleo lab, aiming at reconstructing and testing ancestral pollen and pistil protein sequences in plants. Monthly meetings are happening between the two labs.
Détails de l'annonce
- Profil : We seek an applicant who is skilled in Biochemistry and who is interested in understanding fundamental aspects of biology and evolution at the molecular to atomic level. Prior knowledge of protein structure and function is essential. Awareness and interest in biophysical methods (such as protein crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, microcalorimetry) to study protein-protein complexes will give an important head start. The successful candidate is caring and persistent, curiosity-driven, strives for precision and accuracy, and is strongly motivated for experimental work.
