1 PhD Student Position For Biophysics And Tribology Of Mucin/Mucus Gels

sumber: http://acikita.org/docs/

1 PhD student position is open in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MEK), Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The aims of the project are to investigate biophysical properties, surface and interface properties, and biotribological/rheological properties of mucin and mucus gels as a function of their origin, exposure to varying environment, and interaction with foreign materials. A broad range of mucin/mucus types, for example, those from pig internal organs, fishes and jellyfishes, human saliva, as well as commercial resources will be employed for the research. A specific attention is paid to understand the unique lubricity of mucins and mucus gels in correlation with their relevant biological and biophysical properties. Experiences and interests in carrying out a multidisciplinary project are strongly required. Ideal starting date is January 1, 2013 or as early as possible thereafter.

The project is conducted primarily in the Division of Materials and Surface Engineering (MTU), Department of Mechanical Engineering (MEK). Active collaboration with several other research groups at DTU is expected, including the Enzyme & Protein Chemistry (EPC) Group in the Department of Systems Biology, Danish Polymer Centre (DPC) in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (KT), and the National Food Institute DTU. This project is funded by a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, DTU.

Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
