PhD Fellowships in Chemical Biotechnology at University of Southern Denmark
Job description :
- Two three-year PhD fellowships within the field of biomolecular nanoscale engineering are available at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy, University of Southern Denmark (SDU). The PhD fellowships are available from 1 June 2014 or shortly thereafter.
- The PhD fellowships are embedded in the newly established VKR Centre for Biomolecular Nanoscale Engineering (BioNEC) funded by the VILLUM Foundation and involves research groups from SDU, Aarhus University (AU) and University of Copenhagen (KU). The PhD fellowships are at the Nucleic Acid Center, SDU.
- One fellowship is available in the group of Professor Jesper Wengel where the research will be focused on design, synthesis and evaluation of short functionalized nucleic acid duplexes for de novo design of biomolecular mimics on a nucleic acid scaffold.
- One fellowship is available in the group of Associate Professor Stefan Vogel where the research will be focused on DNA-programmed and –encoded chemical reactions within liposomes.
- Both projects are highly multidisciplinary, involving diverse aspects of chemistry and Biotechnology.
What we seek?
- We are seeking highly motivated and skilled persons to work on biomolecular nanoscale engineering. The successful candidates should have a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry with documented research experience related to modified oligonucleotides and/or liposomes/peptides.
- The positions are available to candidates with a Master’s degree in organic chemistry or a related discipline. The candidates should be proficient in English and possess good interpersonal skills.
Application must be made in the form of a Declaration of Interest including the following:
- A research proposal/description of your approach to the above project (max one page excluding references)
- A letter stating your specific interest, motivation and qualifications for the project in question (max. two pages) (please attach this under box "Application form")
- Detailed CV, including personal contact information
- Copies of diplomas, Bachelor as well as Master’s degree, including transcript of notes
- At least two signed reference letters.
