Two post-docs positions are available in St Andrews, start date this summer.
The project is the structural and functional characterisation of membrane proteins involved in sugar lipid polymer synthesis and transport in bacteria. It is funded by the Wellcome Trust. The ideal candidates have transformative powers, e.g. purifying proteins in a morning and crystallising proteins simply by looking; basically all round superstars. Failing that, I am looking for experience in protein chemistry especially membrane proteins. Industrial experience is as valid as academic. Strong preference will be given to successful experience with membrane protein biochemistry. You must have submitted a PhD before you can start work. A technician will assist these two positions. St Andrews is is located in Scotland and is an equal opportunity slave driver. Full details are available on the unbelievably expensive and cumbersome University job site. (Its main role seems to me is to act as a filter in discouraging applicants) https://www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/ The reference you need is Research Fellows - ME1326, it is listed under the school of chemistry. Sorry, but you do need to apply through this Byzantine system.
