GRADUATE STUDIES IN BILBAO, SPAIN
The University of the Basque Country offers Master and PhD degrees in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine. The one-year Master degree (60 ECTS) consists of lecture courses (30 ECTS) and a research project (30 ECTS). No knowledge of Spanish required. Info at: www.masterbiologiamolecular.ehu.es
PhD Supervisor: Dr M Kuimova Dept: Department of Chemistry Deadline: Applications accepted all year round Applications are invited for a fully funded PhDStudentship working in the Departments of Chemistry on the South Kensington Campus of Imperial College London. The successful candidate will work towards her/his PhD under the supervision of Dr Marina Kuimova. For the main themes of research in the group see http://www3.imperial.ac. uk/people/m.kuimova/research Many important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the hydrodynamic properties of the intracellular matrix, i.e. viscosity of individual domains within cells and the distribution of such domains. The current PhD project will involve spectroscopic and photophysical characterisation of novel fluorescent probes called molecular rotors, sensitive to the viscosity of the environment. Fluorescence imaging will be used to investigate the viscosity of microdomains within cells during the normal cell function and during drug- and light- induced cell death (e.g. during Photodynamic Therapy, PDT, a way of cancer treatment). The EPSRC-funded studentship will provide a tax-free maintenance stipend (including London weighting) of approximately £15000 per year. In addition it will cover the full cost of fees for the EU/UK students. Applications are invited from students with an appropriate background in chemistry, with an interest in spectroscopy, photochemistry and biological imaging. In addition the interest in synthesis of fluorescent

probes can be an advantage. Candidates must have received at least a 2:1 in their first degree. To apply for this project please send a C.V. and details of at least two referees to Dr Marina Kuimova, Department of Chemistry, Imperial College, South Kensington, [email protected]. This position is available from 1st October 2012. CVs will be reviewed as received and until the post is filled. Link: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/people/m.kuimova
