FACULTY OF LIFE SCIENCES
Postdoctoral Research Associate Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins
Salary £25,633 (RA1A) per annum
We are seeking a protein biochemist/structural biologist to work on membrane
protein
components of the torque-generating system of bacterial flagellar motor. Funded
by
the Wellcome Trust, this post is available from December 2006 and is tenable
for up to 3 years.
This work will include expression and purification of individual membrane
proteins
and domains with subsequent characterization using CD, SPR, ITC, AUC, X-ray and
electron crystallography and small angle scattering with the ultimate goal of
understanding the molecular basis of the stator complex function. Experience
with
gene cloning, membrane protein expression and purification is required.
Familiarity
with membrane protein crystallization and reconstitution into lipid bilayers
will be
advantageous. This position will provide an excellent opportunity for a
researcher with
a PhD in a biological science to advance their knowledge and practical skills
in biochemistry,
biophysics and structural biology.
