PhD Candidate in Structural Biology and Chromatin
A 3 year PhD fellowship is available in the Group for Chromatin and Structural Biology.
The Group for Structural Biology and Chromatin (Sekulic group) investigates chromatin biology and epigenetics with a biochemical and structural approach. The project aims at understanding changes in chromatin during mitosis and kinetochore formation. We use various biochemical and biophysical approaches (X-ray crystallography, SAXS, SANS, hydrogen-deuterium exchange ...). In addition, we collaborate with cell biology groups to link structure with function.
Sekulic group is affiliated with both the Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The PhD student will also benefit from career development programs offered both at UiO as well as the Nordic EMBL network of the Centre for Molecular Medicine, Norway
