A PhD position is available at the BIP laboratory in the “Biophysics of metalloproteins and dynamic systems” team in Marseille. The project deals with the study of periplasmic copper proteins involved in a yet to be determined bacterial copper resistance mechanism. The PhD work is expected to start in the fall of 2024.

The Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM) at the University of Oldenburg, Germany, invites applications for the position of a Doctoral Candidate (m/f/d). Join a dynamic research environment at the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM). We invite applications for a Doctoral Candidate (m/f/d) position, focusing on stable silicon isotopes in diatoms for climate reconstruction. The project contributes to a broader investigation of climate variability in the Pacific Southern Ocean over the …

The board of the French Society for Bioinorganic Chemistry expresses its deep concern about the recent French immigration law, which runs counter to our country’s tradition of hospitality and its historic commitment to individual freedoms. Numerous university presidents have denounced this “attack” on “the values of universalism, openness and welcome, the free and fruitful circulation of knowledge, and the spirit of the Enlightenment”, and reiterated that access to knowledge and training “cannot be hindered by such restrictive and unfounded financial …

The topic will be the structure-function relationship in enzymes, in the specific case of [FeFe]-hydrogenase. Protein will be purified and crystallised which will then be photochemically activated and subsequently characterised spectroscopically and via (time-resolved) X-ray crystallography. Further details on the PhD programme can be found under this link.

The objectives of the project are to develop new lanthano-peptides catalysts with a well-folded peptide scaffold, high affinity for Ln(III) and positive interactions for substrate binding. The project will include peptide design and synthesis, characterisations using advanved analytical techniques (paramagnetic NMR, time-resolved luminescence) and molecular modelling, as well as evaluation of Ln-peptide catalysts on model reactions.
