Thanks Colin Postdoctoral Position in X-ray Crystallography Structure of the endosomal ESCRT-I complexes Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester Manchester, UK A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr Lydia Tabernero to study the structural basis for the assembly of a protein complex that is essential for mitogenic receptor down regulation. The project will focus on understanding the core structure of the endosomal-sorting complex, ESCRT-I (Stefani et al., 2011, Curr. Biol. 21, 1245050; Wunderley et al, 2014, J Cell Sci. 127, 663-72). The position is part of an ongoing research collaboration between Dr Lydia Tabernero and Professor Philip Woodman directed towards understanding the molecular basis for the down-regulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. This is a high-impact fast-moving basic research area with direct implications for bettering our understanding of a key cellular process that is disrupted in several diseases. The successful applicant will join a collaborative team, also involving the laboratories of Professor Philip Woodman and Dr Alan Roseman, and will use X-ray crystallography, and other structural techniques (EM, SAXS). The ideal candidate will have a PhD in structural biology, and will have experience in recombinant protein expression and X-ray crystallography. The post is full time for up to 15 months and can be available immediately.
