POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE GRADE 7
£32,958 - £34,956 pa
An exciting opportunity has emerged in the Molecular
Biophysics<http://www.biophysics.liv.ac.uk/> group to work on a BBSRC-supported
project on structure-function-mechanism studies of Cu-nitrite reductase and
membrane bound nitric oxide (NO) reductase and the role of metabolon complex
formation in controlling levels of cytotoxic NO. The project will link
crystallographic studies with techniques to probe factors that control delivery
of electrons and protons to the active site of these enzymes. You will be
responsible for using established molecular biology procedures underpinning the
overexpression and purification of a number of enzymes and their mutants
including membrane proteins and undertake crystallographic, spectroscopic and
mechanistic aspects of the programme. You will have the opportunity to spend
up to 4 weeks in the RIKEN laboratories in Japan as part of a collaborative
programme alongside two PhD students working on membrane-bound nitric oxide
reductases
You should have a PhD in the area of physics, chemistry, biological sciences or
biophysics, with experience in protein crystallography and practical knowledge
of molecular biology preferably with experience in membrane proteins. Excellent
verbal and written communication skills are essential. The post is available
until 31 March 2019.
