[ccp4bb] Vacancy for a Scientific Programmer at EMDB (EMBL-EBI, Cambridge, UK)

2022-09-14 Thread Gerard Kleywegt


Dear colleagues,

EMBL-EBI is looking to recruit a Scientific Programmer to work on the Electron
Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB; emdb-empiar.org), one of the three core archives of
the Worldwide Protein Data Bank organisation (wwPDB; wwpdb.org).

The Scientific Programmer will work in a small but tight international team
focusing on managing the flow of data into the archive (data-in; deposition,
validation and curation) and the public release of the data (production). In the
past two years, EMDB has doubled in size to over 20,000 entries and the archive
is set to continue to grow very rapidly in the years to come, so this is a very
exciting time to join the effort.

More information can be found in the vacancy notice at
https://www.embl.org/jobs/position/EBI02066

A detailed description of the role and its requirements is available from
https://oc.ebi.ac.uk/s/j1g7grHEJoeO9BJ

The application period for this post will close on 23 October 2022 and (virtual)
interviews will take place on 17 or 18 November.

Please feel free to bring this position to the attention of anyone with the
right skillset who might be interested.

Best wishes,

Gerard Kleywegt

With Dr Fabio Parmeggiani, University of Bristol  

The group of Dr Fabio Parmeggiani is seeking a talented and enthusiastic 
postdoc interested in protein design and synthetic biology. The project will be 
focused on designing custom modular protein architectures as robust and 
reliable scaffolds for the development of novel functional protein-based 
nanomaterials and multivalent ligands to modulate cell response.

The aim of the project is to develop a robust, fast and high throughput design 
platform to rapidly build new proteins and complexes. The researcher will be 
responsible for developing the experimental part of the pipeline (involving DNA 
assembly, protein expression and purification, validation of designs through 
biophysical and structural characterization) and spearhead applications in 
nanomaterials and cell biology. The position would be best suited to a 
researcher with a keen interest in applying de novo protein design in synthetic 
biology. Essential skills for this role would include: design, construction and 
expression of synthetic genes in E. coli; biochemical and biophysical 
characterisation of proteins; strong structural biology expertise, in 
particular cryo-electron microscopy or x-ray crystallography.

I'm recruiting a Senior Support Scientist to my beamline I04-1 at

work on automating more complicated kinds of data collection and 
figuring out how to get more data faster, especially for XChem fragment 
screening but also beyond.


Technically-minded crystallographers that enjoy teaching or training 
people, but also like hands-on wires-and-cables style work and/or 
mucking around with programming or scripting, will enjoy this job. 
Diamond is incredibly collegial, with a terrific user community.

I would like to inform you that EMBL Hamburg is currently advertising 
for a Scientific Officer for the Sample Preparation & Characterization 
(SPC).
The facility supports external researchers carrying out experiments on 3 
EMBL beamlines ( 2x MX and 1 SAXS). An extension of the SPC activities
is hosted in the new Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB).The 
Scientific Officer – Biophysical Characterization will support users 
with the design,

execution and data analysis of biophysical experiments.

The facility currently covers a broad range of biophysical techniques, 
including calorimetry, mass spectroscopy, circular dichroism, 
fluorescence, microscale
thermophoresis, dynamic/static light scattering, infrared spectroscopy, 
surface plasmon resonance and biolayer Interferometry. The postholder 
will be responsible for
the maintenance and operation of biophysical instruments as well as for 
training users to operate the equipment independently. He/She will have an
opportunity to develop own relevant research activities within the 
framework of the group by Maria Garcia Alai related to the development 
of new methods at the SPC.


Deadline for application is the 1st July 2018

[ccp4bb] Vacancy for crystallographer at Heptares

2009-08-18 Thread Andrew Leslie

This is posted on behalf of Dr. Fiona Marshall at Heptares. The 
Heptares web site for applications is:

 http://home.btconnect.com/heptares/vacancies.html

Please respond using the web site or the Email address below, not to me.

Andrew Leslie

Structural Biologist/Crystallographer

Heptares is a new drug discovery company located in Hertfordshire UK, 
working on G protein coupled receptors across a range of therapeutic 
areas.  We are using a unique structure based approach, which 
originated from work at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in 
Cambridge, to characterise this important family of receptors and 
develop novel innovative therapeutics for the treatment of disease.


We have recently established a state of the art laboratory for membrane 
protein crystallography. We are now seeking an enthusiastic and 
motivated scientist with experience in protein crystallisation and 
structure determination to assist Heptares in obtaining novel GPCRs 
structures and ligand co-structures for drug discovery.  This is an 
exceptional opportunity to participate in cutting edge science whilst 
helping to grow an industry-leading drug discovery company.


The successful candidate will work closely with the protein engineering 
and expression team responsible for the generation of pure stabilised 
GPCRs.  In addition the role will include close collaboration with 
medicinal and computational chemists involved in structure based drug 
design


It is expected that some candidates will have broad experience of 
protein purification through to structure whilst others may wish to 
focus on crystallography.


The role will include some or all of the following depending on the 
candidate:
•	Develop and optimise protocols for receptor purification with a view 
to crystallisation

•   Develop protocols for crystallisation of novel stabilised GPCRs
•	Set up crystallisation screens and optimise conditions for GPCR 
crystals

•   Data collection at synchrotrons (Diamond and ESRF)
•   Structure determination of protein ligand complexes

Qualifications
The successful candidate should have:
•	A PhD or equivalent in biophysics, structural biology or related 
discipline
•	At least 5 years experience within a research environment either in 
academia or industry.

•   Experience in protein purification and crystallisation
•   Extensive skills in X-ray macromolecular crystallography
•   Analytical thinking and critical problem solving skills.
•	Experience of working with membrane proteins would be an advantage as 
would experience of working in a drug discovery environment where 
structural studies are used to drive medicinal chemistry

•   Excellent time management skills and an ability to work independently.
•   An interest in G protein coupled receptors and drug discovery.
