ASTBURY CENTRE FOR STRUCTURAL MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW Membrane Protein Structure Initiative (MPSI) A BBSRC-funded postdoctoral post is available immediately, for 3 years in the first instance, to elucidate the structures of membrane transport and channel proteins. These play vital roles in biological processes ranging from nutrient uptake to cell communication and many are critical drug targets. The molecular mechanisms of these proteins will be analysed through a structural genomics approach combining high throughput (HTP) protein expression, X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. A consortium of 8 UK Universities and Research Centres are participating in this 5-year project for the BBSRC SPoRT Initiative: at Leeds the focus is membrane protein expression, purification, crystallisation and structure determination. This post is mainly concerned with the crystallization and X-ray crystal structure determination of prokaryotic membrane transport proteins. A PhD in a relevant subject area and a strong research background in protein crystallography are required, together with the ability to work independently. Salary: Research IA (£22,289 to £25,565 p.a.), depending on qualifications and experience.
