One year postdoctoral scientist position at GlaxoSmithKline (Stevenage -
just north of London)
An exciting opportunity exists to join a successful team working
on the structure and function of a new class of antibacterials within
GlaxoSmithKline. Structural studies are being used to guide chemistry.
High resolution crystal structures have shown the binding mode for the
compounds, but growing well diffracting crystals of target proteins
continues to be challenging. The primary role of the post-doc will be to
drive forward the structural and functional studies on target proteins by
focusing on developing robust crystallisation systems. The person
appointed will work closely with members of protein biochemistry and
computational and structural chemistry groups, and will be involved in
characterising complexes (using various biochemical and biophysical
techniques) and crystallising and solving crystal structures.
Candidates should have experience in at least three of the
following: protein purification, characterisation, biophysics (including
nmr), crystallisation or crystallography. Candidates should have good
communication skills and enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary
environment.
