University of Oxford Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine Department of Molecular Oncology Cell Signalling Group
Postdoctoral Researcher Crystallography/Biochemistry University Grade 7: £26,666 - £32,796 p.a A highly motivated postdoctoral researcher is sought for our team to work on a project involving crystallography of protein interaction domain complexes, computational screening for small inhibitor molecules and various biochemical and biological assays with the aim to generate new protein structures and to search for and analyse lead compounds for cancer therapy. The ideal candidate will have experience in protein crystallography and in silico screening as well as in biochemical techniques and the desire to apply structural data to find new concepts and leads for disease therapy. You should be able to work independently and in a multi- disciplinary team, communicate effectively and provide substantial input into the conceptual and day-to-day development of the project, which is funded by Cancer Research UK. The position is available immediately for up to 36 months. The salary range is Grade 7, £26,666 - £32,796pa. The Cell Signalling Group at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM; www.imm.ox.ac.uk) in Oxford studies signalling proteins and pathways related to cancers with biological, biochemical and biophysical methods. Objects of main interest are protein - protein interactions, especially SH3 domains and the signalling pathway heterogeneity in cancer cells (www.imm.ox.ac.uk/pages/research/cancer_research/signaling.ht m). The university offers a variety of benefits to their employees (further details at www.ox.ac.uk/staff/index.html). Oxford provides a vibrant and highly stimulating research environment and offers excellent central facilities for robot-supported protein crystallography (www.oppf.ox.ac.uk) and a brand new synchrotron in close proximity (www.diamond.ac.uk). Applications, consisting of a detailed CV, the contact details of three referees one of whom must be the current or most recent employer, and a letter setting out examples of how you meet the selection criteria for the post including your future aspirations should be sent to Claire Russell, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford, OX3 9DS or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please quote reference number H808007 on all applications The closing date for applications is 28th March 2008. The University is an Equal Opportunities Employer. ------- End of forwarded message ------- Claire Russell Personnel and Studentship Officer Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine University of Oxford Tel: 01865 222453 ------- End of forwarded message ------- Claire Russell Personnel and Studentship Officer Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine University of Oxford Tel: 01865 222453 ------- End of forwarded message ------- Claire Russell Personnel and Studentship Officer Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine University of Oxford Tel: 01865 222453
