Applications are invited for a Wellcome Trust postdoctoral position for two years at the Biophysical Sciences Institute at Durham University.
The aim of the project is to investigate the structure and function of phospholipases from the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The successful applicant will be part of a team that uses a combination of biophysical and structural methods to establish the molecular basis of activity. The primary technique employed will be protein crystallography. Protein purification and crystallisation conditions have been already been established. The post-holder will be responsible for sample preparation, crystallisation and data collections at the synchrotron with the ultimate goal of solving the crystal structure of the target proteins and their complexes with substrates and inhibitors.
