Ph.D. student position, Umea, Sweden

[Leszek Andrzej Kleczkowski]

A Ph.D. student position is currently available in my laboratory at the 
Department of Plant Physiology, Umea University, Sweden.  The position 
concerns studies on hybrid assembly, subunit/domain swapping and affinity 
labelling of a higher plant ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, the key enzyme 
of starch biosynthesis.  The position requires strong background in gene 
manipulation and expression in a heterologous system (E.coli), and at 
least some experience with protein/enzyme work.  For more details please 
consult our recent work (J. Biol. Chem. 268: 6228-33, Plant Physiol. 101: 
179-86, Biochem. J. 313:149-54).

The position is financed by the Umea University initially for two years. 
A Master's degree in an appropriate area is required.

Qualified candidates are encouraged to send a letter of interest and 
their c.v., either through e-mail (preferably), fax or snail-mail to:
