新西兰奥塔哥大学招收生物化学方向博士

A PhD opportunity is available to join a research team investigating the role of peroxiredoxins. Peroxiredoxins are a ubiquitously expressed family of antioxidant enzymes with putative roles in antioxidant defence and redox signalling. We have proposed that peroxiredoxin 1 has a role in transducing a redox signal to MAP kinase pathways (see Free Radical Biology and Medicine (2012) 53:1522–30). The project will use a combination of cell biological and protein biochemical approaches to identify peroxiredoxin targets and understand the role of peroxiredoxins in hydrogen peroxide signalling. The project will suit an enthusiastic and high achieving student with an Honours or Masters degree and a background in biochemistry and/or biological chemistry. Candidates must secure a University of Otago PhD scholarship and meet the conditions for enrolment in a PhD at the University of Otago (www.otago.ac.nz/study/phd). This project is a collaboration between Dr Liz Ledgerwood and Dr Peter Mace in the Biochemistry Department (http://biochem.otago.ac.nz/) at New Zealand’s top ranked university for research – the University of Otago.

Applicants should provide the following:
