Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Hydration of ions and their interaction with biomolecules plays an important role in many natural and technological processes. The PhD. study will focus on investigating specific ion effect ininteractions with molecules in water. Already in 1888 a German professor from Prague, Franz Hofmeister ordered ions into the so called lyotropic (Hofmeister) series according to their ability to salt out proteins. Using molecular simulations we will attempt at understanding the physical basisof this ion ordering and predict the influence of specific ions on biophysical and biochemical processes.
How to apply
To apply for a PhD study at IOCB Prague, you must hold a Master’s degree (MSc) or the equivalent of the MSc in similar field (four or five year undergraduate degree). The application can be submitted before obtaining the Master’s degree, however, the applicant should obtain the degree within five months after the application deadline.
