Three Research Associate positions are available in the laboratory of Prof. Luca Pellegrini in the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Cambridge, UK.
The aim of the project is to elucidate key molecular mechanisms of DNA synthesis by the human replisome, the dynamic multi-protein ensemble responsible for duplicating chromosomal DNA before cell division. To achieve this goal, the successful candidates will use a multi-disciplinary approach that includes preparative biochemistry of multi-protein complexes, protein engineering and state-of-the-art biophysical and structural techniques. Successful candidates will hold or be about to be awarded a PhD in Biochemistry, Biophysics or Molecular Biology. They must have a track record in conducting internationally competitive research, including peer-reviewed publications as first author. The ideal candidate will combine an ability to work independently and to fit in well in a team. Above all, she/he will be enthusiastic about pursuing fundamental research and be highly motivated to succeed professionally. Expert knowledge of modern methods of preparative biochemistry and/or of quantitative biophysical methods is required. In particular, expertise in one or more of the following techniques is essential: – Mammalian/insect-cell protein expression – cryoEM (SPA and/or tomography) – single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy Please apply at: https://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/28616/ <https://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/28616/>, quoting reference PH25609. Applicants should submit a CV with list of relevant publications, a cover letter explaining why they are suitable for the position and contact information for at least two referees.
