Dear all, I am currently recruiting for a postdoctoral research associate position that is available in my lab at the Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/camb/), Newcastle UK. The project involves studying the molecular basis of chromosome synapsis and recombination-mediated crossover formation during mammalian meiosis as part of a programme of work in the lab funded by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society. Our work is principally focussed on using X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy and biophysical methods such as SEC-MALS to analyse key protein components of the synaptonemal complex and their interactions with recombination factors. We also use yeast two-hybrid and mammalian cell culture, and are engaged in collaborative research within the institute and worldwide. A PhD in protein biochemistry or structural biology would be expected. The position is tenable for three years, with a starting salary of £28,695-£30,434. The closing date for applications is 29th March 2015.
