About the PhD student positions BioToP offers an inter- and multi-disciplinary research-based doctoral education at the interface of basic and applied science in the field of protein biotechnology. BioToP offers a challenging scientific environment with state-of-the-art facilities and provides comprehensive and thorough up-to-date research training in the fields of:

structure-function analysis, engineering and design of proteins
protein synthesis, targeting and post-translational modifications
expression systems and cell factories
bioinformatics and molecular modelling

The BioToP-specific educational program comprises lectures, seminars and instructional courses that complement the research work in the participating groups. Highly qualified and motivated students of any nationality are invited to apply for the 3-year studentships. Funding will be according to the salary scheme of the Austrian Science Fund. Additionally students will receive funding for research stays abroad and for the participation at international conferences.

Research Projects:

In this call specially designed collaborative research projects are offered. These projects are highly interdisciplinary, i.e. at least two faculty members of different research areas will significantly contribute with their complementary expertise. Applicants can choose up to three projects of interest:

Analysis of structure-function relationships of monomeric and dimeric human IgA1 and IgA2 with defined N- and O-glycosylation

Development of high-throughput-screening of flavin- and heme-dependent oxidoreductases using genetically encoded redox sensors

Genomic and epigenomic analysis of a plant-based expression platform for recombinant glycoproteins

Mechanism and dynamics of extracellular cellulolytic protein interactions

Rational systems design of protein-producing yeasts: eliminating metabolic limitations

Structure-function analysis of a phylum-wide conserved glycosyltransferase central to a novel protein O-glycosylation pathway

Understanding the source of variation in protein N-glycosylation patterns of recombinant proteins generated in CHO cells
