Dear all Find below an advertisement for a senior group leader position at the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow, UK, posted on behalf of Prof. Karen Vousden - please respond directly to her as indicated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SENIOR GROUP LEADER IN STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY BEATSON INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH The Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow is one of the UKs leading cancer research centres. It is core funded by Cancer Research UK and supports high quality research into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. To answer the growing demands of our mission we are constructing a new Institute building (due for completion early 2007), which will allow a significant expansion over the next few years. As part of this new development we are inviting applications for a Senior Group Leader to develop and head a programme in Structural Biology. We are looking for an innovative scientist to both run an independent research programme with a focus on cancer biology, and establish and build this new initiative in Structural Biology which will include further recruitment of a junior Group Leader with complementary interests. We expect these scientists to have an interest in participating and contributing to the vibrant scientific environment at the Beatson Institute, which includes cell and molecular biologists pursuing areas such as cell motility, signal transduction, apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA repair and small molecule modulators of protein function. The Beatson Institute provides outstanding equipment and core services, including FACS, confocal, video and TIRF microscopy, DNA sequencing, IT and proteomics. Successful applicants will play a key role in the development of a new initiative to build a structural biology programme incorporating an X-ray crystallography laboratory. In addition to the supportive and collaborative environment at the Beatson Institute, the Structural Biology groups will be encouraged to develop strong interactions with established protein crystallography groups at Glasgow University. This is a tenured position, which comes with substantial core funding (including staff and consumables). We are hoping to attract an experienced expert in the field, and will offer an attractive total package. To learn more about the Beatson Institute please visit our website at www.beatson.gla.ac.uk. You can also write directly to Prof. Karen Vousden (Director) by email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] To submit an application, please provide a CV, a brief description of research achievements and future plans and the names of three referees. Applications should be received before 1st December 2006. ############################################################################## Prof. Daan van Aalten Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow Wellcome Trust Biocentre, Dow Street TEL: ++ 44 1382 384979 Div. of Biol.Chem. & Mol.Microbiology FAX: ++ 44 1382 385764 School of Life Sciences E-mail: see WWW page Univ. of Dundee, Dundee DD1 5EH, UK WWW: http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk
