RESEARCH FELLOW POSITIONS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR JOINT BIOCHEMISTRY &
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, MONASH UNIVERSITY/ MONASH INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL
RESEARCH PROJECTS
The Wilce Laboratory at Monash University, headed by Jackie and
Matthew Wilce, seeks highly motivated and talented scientists to join
their research team. A number of Research Fellow positions for protein
chemists/structural biologists are currently available to work in the
field of protein/RNA interactions. Positions are available in two
research streams:
1) Characterisation of RNA recognition by RNA-binding proteins
involved in innate immunity – in collaboration with Professor Bryan
Williams (Monash Institute for Medical Research),
and,
2) The molecular basis of protein-RNA interactions underlying mRNA
stability and translational control of inflammatory mediators - in
collaboration with Dr Myriam Gorospe (NIH) Dr Paul Anderson (Harvard)
and Professor Bryan Williams (Monash Institute for Medical Research).
Monash University is literally across the road from Australia’s first
and only Synchrotron. The Wilce laboratory has access to high-
throughput protein production facilities as well as crystallisation
robotics.
Research Fellow applicants are expected to have a PhD and track record
in a molecular science and a background in the following: protein
chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry, recombinant protein
production and structural biology. Applicants with a very strong
computational background, ie. molecular dynamics, computational
estimation of Free Energy of binding are also encouraged to apply.
Salary range: RF Level A $60, 019 - $64,427
RF Level B $67, 818 - $80,535
Appointments will be made at a level appropriate to the successful
applicant’s qualifications, experience and in accordance with
classification standards for each level. The positions are available
immediately.
