Dear All, A 1 year position has become available for a Research Associate in the Membrane Protein Laboratory (MPL) for crystallisation, crystallographic and structure determination of a bacterial antibiotic transporter. The successful candidate will work on improving the crystals and solving the structure of these important protein. 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 mfrom its location within the Diamond Light Source. The post is funded through a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research (BBSRC) Council research grant.
You will be responsible for improving the membrane protein crystals, collecting data and phasing the transporter. 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, crystal optimisation and synchrotron data collection are essential. Experience on membrane proteins will be considered as a plus but not essential. For informal enquiries please contact Dr Konstantinos Beis at: [email protected] Our preferred method of application is online via our website. Applications by email will not be considered. https://www4.ad.ic.ac.uk/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_VAC_DISPLAY_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&transactionid=783811885&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=S&p_svid=38791&p_spid=1602182&oapc=8&oas=ZNyBgk0w9pMxPAAtTX8fmA Please complete and upload the application as directed (Job number NS 2012 195 IL) Closing date is the 21st October Best, Kostas Dr. Konstantinos Beis Lecturer Imperial College London Membrane Protein Lab Diamond Light Source Harwell Oxford Chilton, Didcot Oxfordshire OX11 0DE UK tel: 01235778413 fax: 01235778785 url: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/people/konstantinos.beis url2: http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Science/MPL/default.htm P Please consider the environment before printing this email
