Directed Protein Evolution for Synthetic Biology and Biocatalysis (ES-Cat) is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network set up to provide young researchers with hands-on research experience and formal training in ten European partner groups, which use directed evolution as a tool to reproduce Nature’s remarkable ability to generate molecular machines – in particular enzymes \u2013 that perform at levels near perfection.<\/p>\n
15 fully-funded PhD studentship are available in the partner groups, for start dates from March 2017. Students interested in joining the programme should email the groups in which they would like to work with a description of their background and interests, a CV, their academic record (with marks) and the names of two referees who can comment on their scientific track record. Applicants must have at least a 2.1 in Chemistry, Biochemistry or a related subject. The only formal restriction is that you have to undertake the PhD programme in a country where you have not been resident in the past five years. You should apply directly to the partner group that you wish to work in.<\/p>\n
The application deadline is 10 August 2016.<\/p>\n
