VACANCY - SENIOR RESEARCHER IN GENE EXPRESSION FOR STRUCTURAL GLYCOBIOLOGY, University of York, UK
Applications are invited for a Senior Researcher to play a major role in establishing mammalian gene expression for 3-D structural and chemical mechanistic studies in the area of eukaryotic glycobiology in health and disease. The project is funded by the ERC and will be supervised by Professor Gideon Davies, FRS, in the York Structural Biology Laboratory (YSBL). The post holder will be responsible for the preparation of gene constructs for the expression of mammalian carbohydrate-active enzyme genes, expression of these genes in mammalian and insect cell lines and the production and characterization of recombinant proteins for structural studies. Applicants are expected to have a PhD or equivalent qualification in biochemistry or molecular biology and demonstrable skill, knowledge and experience in the over-expression of genes in mammalian and/or fungal systems. The post will also involve extensive protein production, purification and characterization and experience in these areas is also required. Salary will be within the range of £36,298 - £44,607 per year, on Grade 7 of the University salary scale. The post is available from June 2013 for a period of up to 59 months.
