Position starts on:04/02/2019
Maximum period of contract/stipend agreement:36 months
Institution:Solar Fuels Lab
Project leader: Prof. Joanna Kargul
Project title: Design and optimisation of molecular interface for efficient electron transfer within photosystem I-based photovoltaic devices

Key responsibilities include:
Purification, modification and immobilisation of (photo)electroactive
His6- tagged (photo)electroactive proteins on a self-assembled monolayer. Characterisation of electron transfer parameters of the obtained biohybrid
constructs with the resolution of a single supramolecular construct.

Profile of candidates/requirements:
A recent first-class graduate with a strong degree in any relevant subject related to biology, biochemistry or biotechnology. The PhD student will be directly supervised by the PI and will work on purification and modification of the protein components of the photoelectrodes, as well their oriented immobilisation on various substrates and chronoamperometric assessment of the electrodes obtained in this study.

Required documents:
• an MSc certificate or equivalent in biochemistry, molecular biology, plant physiology, biophysics, materials engineering or a related field,
• a transcript from the last completed cycle of studies (with a cumulative average grade),
• a list of publications and conference abstracts (if applicable).

We offer:
Highly interdisciplinary laboratory with with an excellent mix of organic synthesis, electrochemical and biochemical expertise. The project will be conducted in collaboration with leading experts in the field using world-class imaging and electrochemical equipment.
