RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (REF: 1547)
ARC CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN PLANT ENERGY BIOLOGY
THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF SEQUENCE-SPECIFIC RNA-BINDING PROTEINS
3 year fixed term appointment
Closing date: Friday 17 November, 2006
Salary range: Level A $46,345-$62,892 p.a.
(Minimum starting salary for appointee with PhD will be Step 6 $58,590)
The ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology at The University
of Western Australia incorporates four teams undertaking research
relating to organelle function and plant metabolism in model plants
using functional genomics. The Centre has excellent plant growth and
imaging facilities, plus state-of-the-art equipment for transcript,
protein and metabolite profiling. Applications are invited from a
suitably qualified Postdoctoral Researcher to work on a UWA-funded
project on structure/function analysis of RNA-binding proteins.
The project will seek to understand the basis for the sequence-specific
binding of pentatricopeptide (PPR) proteins to RNA by studying
RNA-protein complexes in vivo, in vitro, by computer modeling and by
structural analysis. A PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology,
structural biology or a related discipline is essential. This position
is available from the beginning of January 2007. For further information
regarding the position please contact Professor Ian Small by email :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The project will be undertaken in collaboration with Professor Charlie
Bond ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) of the School of Biomedical, Biomolecular
& Chemical Sciences at UWA. Professor Bond will oversee the structural
biology aspects of the project (crystallography, molecular modeling.)
Located adjacent to the picturesque banks of the Swan River, the
University is an equal opportunity employer and offers an attractive
benefits package including generous superannuation and leave provisions.
These and other benefits will be specified in the offer of employment.
