Dear all,
Could I draw your attention to a lectureship recently advertised here in Oxford
at the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics ? We are looking to appoint a
new faculty member to join a growing body of structural biologists in
a beautiful new building that offers excellent facilities. Applicants should
have a track record in interdisciplinary strutural biology, ideally including
active NMR projects. Deadline for applications is 29th January and, as acting
head of the laboratory, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about
the post offline.
Best wishes,
Martin Noble
