Dear All,
A position has become available for a Research Associate in the
Membrane Protein Laboratory (MPL) for crystallisation,
crystallographic and biochemical studies on bacterial antibiotic
transporters. The successful candidate will work on improving the
crystals and solving the structure of these important proteins, as
well as biochemically characterising them.
The MPL is located at Diamond Light Source, near Didcot, Oxfordshire.
The laboratory is an out-house of Imperial College London and its
director is Prof So Iwata. The laboratory is fully equipped for
structural studies of membrane proteins and it is also equipped for
cell growth and protein purification and has automated
crystallisation robots and imaging systems. The laboratory benefits
from its location within the Diamond Light Source, and it is close to
the ISIS neutron source. The post is funded through a Biotechnology
and Biological Sciences Research (BBSRC) Council research grant.
You will be responsible for improving membrane protein crystals of
bacterial antibiotic transporters and biochemically characterise them
within the MPL. The group already has crystals for one of these
transporters that diffract to medium resolution.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in a biological science, or
the equivalent in professional qualifications and experience. You
must have experience in molecular cloning and protein purification.
Crystallisation, protein crystallography or electron microscopy
experience on membrane proteins will be considered as a plus but not
essential.
