MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge
Postdoctoral Scientist
£25,368 - £26,953 per annum
The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) is a world famous
institution with a strong track record in training postdoctoral fellows
who have gone on to become leading scientists.
Several research groups at the LMB work on the structure of membrane
proteins, including transporters and G protein-coupled receptors. With
our recent success in solving the structure of a thermostabilised
adrenergic receptor (Nature 454, 486-491), we wish to expand similar
work on other membrane proteins. We are therefore offering a three-year
Postdoctoral Career Development Fellowship for an enthusiastic
scientist with an interest in membrane protein biochemistry and
crystallography, and with some experience in at least one of these
areas. You will join a multi-disciplinary team at the LMB with
expertise in all aspects of membrane protein research and will be
expected to perform work ranging from protein expression through to
structure determination. The work will be performed in the lab of Dr.
Chris Tate with crystallographic assistance from Dr. Andrew Leslie.
An MRC Career Development Fellowship is a three year training and
development position for a postdoctoral scientist who has recently
completed their doctoral studies or is moving into a new research
discipline. This position is available immediately. The salary will be
supported by a flexible pay and reward policy, 30 days’ annual leave
entitlement, an optional MRC final salary pension scheme and excellent
on site sports and social facilities.
