Project description Third-cycle subject: Biotechnology Design and engineering of new functions and properties of natural and artificial proteins is a growing research discipline with applications in many different areas, primarily medicine and diagnostics. Research at the Division of Protein Engineering is largely focused on this field. The advertised position is within directed evolution, i.e. the use of large protein libraries expressed on, for example, microorganisms from which new proteins with desired properties can be selected. The projects will include development of protein-based drug candidates for diagnostics and therapy with focus on neurodegenerative diseases. Supervision: Principal supervisor John Löfblom and Co-supervisor Stefan Ståhl are proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission Admission requirements To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following: • passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or • completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or • acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge
