Kind regards, Inari MSc student position open in the group of Dr. Inari Kursula, Department of Biochemistry, University of Oulu and Centre for Structural Systems Biology, DESY, Hamburg We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated student with a keen interest in protein chemistry and structural biology to join our young group for an MSc (pro gradu) project for about six months, starting as soon as possible (early 2012). The work can be performed in our laboratories either in Oulu or Hamburg, or shared between both. My group is working on proteins regulating the actin-based motility of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium). The current project deals with biochemical and structural characterization of domains of the two Plasmodium formins. More information on our group and projects can be found at our website: http://www.desy.de/~inari/lab Informal enquiries by e-mail are most welcome. Contact details for informal enquiries: Inari Kursula: inari.kursula@helmholtz-hzi.de Alexander Ignatev: alexander.ignatev@oulu.fi Applications should be sent by e-mail to Inari Kursula and will be considered until a suitable candidate has been found.
