PhD studentship: In silico study of the effects of pathogenic mutations on the structure and dynamics of heart muscle proteins
Job Description:
The identification of new therapies for cardiomyopathies relies on a deep understanding of these mechanisms at the atomistic level. Using a combination of state-of-the-art Molecular Modelling, Molecular Dynamics and Bioinformatics techniques, the successful candidate will investigate how cardiomyopathy-related mutations affect the motion and stability of key components of the cardiac sarcomere.

The deadline for online applications is 5pm (GMT) on 9th March 2015.
