Post Doctoral Position at Imperial College London in Structural Biology
Imperial College London
Department of Life Sciences
Faculty of Natural Sciences
Research Associate
Salary: £32,100 - £35,620 per annum
We wish to recruit a Research Associate for up to 24 months in the first
instance with possible extension to up to five years to work in the
research group of Professor Paul Freemont and Professor Xiaodong Zhang
(http://www.msf.bio.ic.ac.uk/index.php) in the Centre for Structural
Biology, Department of Life Sciences at the South Kensington Campus of
Imperial College London.
Our research group comprise research fellows, research associates and
PhD students from a diverse range of background including molecular
biology, biochemistry, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy,
physics and engineering. We employ a multi-disciplinary approach to
study the structures and mechanisms of large macromolecular complexes.
Funded by a CRUK programme grant to Professor Paul Freemont and
Professor Xiaodong Zhang, you will join a multi-disciplinary group to
investigate the structure and mechanism of the AAA ATPase p97. p97 is a
versatile participant of the ubiquitin proteasome system, interacting
with a larger network of adaptor proteins to mediate a variety of
cellular processes including ER associated degradation, autophagy and
DNA damage repair.
Successful candidates must hold a PhD in a structural biology or
biochemistry discipline or an equivalent level of research, industrial
or commercial experience and have demonstrated capacity for innovative
high quality structural biological research. Previous research
experience in a structural biological laboratory environment covering
X-ray crystallography or electron microscopy single particle analysis is
essential. The successful candidate must also have an advanced
knowledge of protein biochemistry and structural biology. Experience in
supervision and training of junior research staff and students and in
writing scientific research papers would be advantageous.
The successful candidate must be able to work effectively within a team,
have the ability to develop and apply new concepts, and have a creative
approach to problem-solving. They will also be expected to demonstrate
excellent verbal and written communication skills, and be able to write
clearly and succinctly for publication.
