dear BBers there is a post-doc position available in my lab, funded by the BBSRC for 3 years in the first instance, to study the biosynthesis of the cell wall in the model bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. the cell wall, apart from being the target of penicillin and vancomycin, defines the shape of the bacterial cell and provides it with a protective outer layer. there are a host of proteins involved in the formation of the wall, some - but not all - of which are membrane proteins. consequently, there is an opportunity in newcastle for a talented and dedicated post-doc with demonstrable previous experience of the structural biology of membrane proteins. further particulars of this post can be found on newcastle's vacancies website: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/vacancies/jobs/ with reference code A397R (ICAMB). please apply for the post by following the instructions on the website, the closing date for which is 25th may 2009.
please also note that in addition to the post in my lab, there is a second post available, funded on the same grant, in the lab of richard daniel for someone with a more biological focus. applicants to me should specify that they are applying for 'post 2'. cheers rick -- R.
