Master's English-Taught Degree Program “Biological Engineering”

The Program is aimed at students having background in natural science and wishing to master contemporary methodology of scientific research in order to pursue career in the field of biological engineering. The scientific projection in biological engineering aims to encourage research skills by students through an individual research project in biology, biological engineering or biophysics. Students will follow all steps of research process from the problem statement to the achievement and analysis of experimental results.

Master’s Program “Biological engineering” is delivered by an experienced academic staff having a comprehensive background in fundamental research and practical applications in industries. The program is designed with emphasis on practical skills development and students work in the modern and well-equipped SibFU Laboratory of Bioluminescent Biotechnologies (in Russian). This laboratory was established through the collaboration of the world’s strongest team of scientists engaged in fundamental research of light emission by living organisms, i. e. bioluminescence, and the Nobel Laureate Professor Osamu Shimomura.

PD positions:

A PD position is available in biochemistry at the Lab. of Biochemistry and Biotechnology of Bioluminescent Systems at Federal University of São Carlos (Sorocaba, Brazil) to work in a thematic project on arthropod bioluminescence. Expertise is required in heterologous protein expression in different systems (yeasts, insects, and possibly mammalian cells). The candidate must have completed the PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular biology or related discipline with 0-5 years of professional experience. Selection will start in October. Please send CV and two recommendation Letters to Vadim Viviani, viviani@ufscar.br
