We have two post-doctoral positions available at AstraZeneca, at our Alderley Park (UK) site.
(1) two-year post-doc in protein engineering / crystallisation. This position is funded by our Global Kinase Initiative. The position is based in the protein-engineering group within structural chemistry, which also comprises the crystallisation, crystallography and NMR groups. The group has additional strong interactions with other functions such as Protein Supply and Molecular Enzymology. The successful candidate will be involved in a wide range of methods (protein engineering, protein ligand interactions studies and protein crystallisation), and will have an opportunity to work in a dynamic multidisciplinary environment and learn about structure based drug discovery through participation in project work.

Please note the applications close in 5 days time; if you are interested please submit a rapid application that can be refined later (2) one-year post-doc in protein crystallisation. This position is a maternity-leave cover. Your main responsibility will be to provide diffraction-quality protein crystals to support drug discovery projects, this work includes crystallisation of pure proteins to diffraction quality, cryoprotection of protein crystals & X-ray data collection.
