*Post-Doctoral Position in Single Particle Analysis.* We are looking for
a suitably qualified candidate to fill a position in single particle
analysis of transcription complexes at the University of Newcastle,
Australia. The position will be initially available for 2 years. Salary
from A$57,579 depending on experience.
The post-holder will investigate a number of transcription complexes of
RNA polymerase using both cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray
crystallography, in conjunction with Dr Ben Hankamer at the University
of Queensland (http://www.imb.uq.edu.au/), Australia, and Dr Rick Lewis
Univeristy of Newcastle, UK (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/camb/), respectively.
RNA polymerase is a target for the design of anti-microbials and the
structures obtained during the course of the research proposal will
serve as templates for the design and synthesis (in collaboration with
local colleagues) and the validation by biochemical and structural
analyses of novel anti-microbials. Prior experience in cryo-electron
microscopy and single particle analysis or X-ray structure determination
of large assemblies would be advantageous and training will be provided
where necessary.
It will be necessary for the post-holder to make several trips to
Brisbane, for the EM studies, whilst also participating in an exchange
programme with colleagues in Newcastle, UK.
Newcastle (Australia) is a coastal city famous for its surfing beaches
found ~100 miles (160 km) north of Sydney situated at the mouth of the
Hunter river, and adjacent to the world famous Hunter valley
wine-growing region. The city enjoys a very pleasant climate all year
round.
