Dear All, one more position has become available in our lab. A Research Associate positions have become available in the laboratory for crystallisation and crystallographic studies on mammalian transporter in the Membrane Protein Crystallography Laboratory at the Research Complex in Harwell (RCaH) near Didcot, Oxfordshire. The laboratory is headed by Professor So Iwata, who is a world leader in crystallisation and crystallography of membrane proteins. In particular, the group has a proven track record working with respiratory and photosynthetic membrane protein complexes and membrane transporters. The laboratory is an out-house of Imperial College London and is fully equipped for structural studies for membrane proteins. The successful candidate will work on improving the crystals and solving the structure of these important proteins. The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funds the post. You must have a PhD in a biological science, or the equivalent in professional qualifications and experience. You must also have experience in molecular cloning, mammalian cell culturing and biophysical techniques such as circular dichroism (CD). Experience in protein crystallization and crystallography, crystallization and X-ray crystallography particularly on membrane proteins or macromolecular complexes, and X-ray diffraction data collection are also essential.
For informal enquiries please contact Professor So Iwata at [email protected]. Or Dr Konstantinos Beis at [email protected] Closing date is 21 July (midnight). Our preferred method of application is online via our website http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/employment (please select “Job Search” then enter the job title or vacancy reference number – NS 2013 147 IL – including spaces, into “Keywords”).
