Dear Colleagues,

Applications are invited for 4-year PhD studentships in the Rosta group
at King?s College London, to start in September 2016. The studentships
will be funded for 4 years, on a starting bursary at the standard
research council rate (?16,296) per annum and tuition fees at the
Home/EU rate. There is no provision for overseas student fees.

The studentships enable graduates with excellent honours degrees to
undertake a four year training programme that integrates a research
project with teaching experience plus training in research methods and
transferable key skills. The student will spend approximately 75% of
their time on cutting edge research and 25% on education, including
teaching training.

The Department of Chemistry at King?s College London provides excellent
opportunities for postgraduate training in interdisciplinary research,
including research seminars, studying in an exciting collaborative
environment, and gaining valuable experience as a teaching assistant.

Below is a list of potential topics, with relevant literature. No
previous experience is required.
1. Ab initio calculations of small molecule host-guest systems
       Single-molecule strong coupling at room temperature in plasmonic
nanocavities, Chikkaraddy et al, Nature (accepted) 2016
       Light-regulated Molecular Trafficking in a Synthetic Water-soluble
Host, Barrio et al, JACS Comm 2016

2. Targeting Big Data: Statistical analysis of molecular trajectories
       Free energies from dynamic weighted histogram analysis using
unbiased Markov state model, Rosta et al, JCTC 2015

3. Biology of cancer: Using molecular dynamics simulations to reveal the
MAPK pathway activation mechanisms
       Phosphorylation of RAF Kinase Dimers Drives Conformational Changes
that Facilitate Transactivation, Jambrina et al, Angewandte Chemie 2016

To apply, please send a CV and a short statement of interest to Dr.
Edina Rosta atedina.rosta at kcl.ac.uk.
