[ccp4bb] BBSRC Studentship

[Littlechild, Jennifer]

We have a BBSRC supported PhD studentship with Unilever which is advertised 
from Biosciences on the University of Exeter UK web site with a closing date 
16th October.
The overall proposal will be to evaluate and take forward the application of 
already identified thermophilic lactonase enzymes from three different enzyme 
classes to combat microbial biofilm formation towards the improvement of 
Unilever's Healthcare Products. The student will also search through a 
thermophilic genomic and metagenomic DNA database available at Exeter for 
additional related enzymes.
The studentship will involve multidisciplinary techniques including gene 
cloning and over-expression of relevant proteins, biochemical and structural 
characterisation, microbiology and biofilm formation in an industrial context. 
This is a 4 year funded studentship which includes a 3 month placement in 
Industry and comes with a generous financial top-up from the company.
Students with experience in bioinformatics, molecular biology techniques 
including cloning and protein over-expression, protein purification and 
biochemical and structural characterisation, are encouraged to apply on the 
University web site and contact me by email 
j.a.littlech...@exeter.ac.uk as necessary.
Applicants must have obtained, or be about to obtain, a First or Upper Second 
Class UK Honours degree in Biological Chemistry or Biochemistry, or the 
equivalent qualifications gained outside the UK, in an appropriate area of 
science or technology. EU students will be eligible for full funding.

[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral Position at Exeter University

[Littlechild, Jennifer]

A postdoctoral position is available on a multidisciplinary project between the 
group of Prof Littlechild at the Henry Wellcome Building for Biocatalysis and 
Prof Frank Volmer in Physics within the new LSI Building in association with 
the Physics Department. The aim is  to study enzyme structure, stability and 
mechanism, and enzyme folding with state-of the art methodologies including 
single-molecule optical nanosensors, X-rays, and molecular dynamics 
simulations. This project will be part of the UKRI Molecular Mechanics 
Initiative at the University of Exeter which is a cutting-edge research 
programme that aims to achieve breakthroughs in how to detect, analyse, and 
manipulate molecules at the ultimate single-molecule level.
Experience with gene cloning and over-expression, enzyme purification, X-ray 
structural analysis, mutational analysis and application of other biophysical 
techniques is required. Familiarity with surface immobilisation of proteins and 
enzymes, molecular dynamics simulations, Raman and SERS protein analysis, and 
electrochemical sensors is desirable.
The successful candidate can be appointed as Postdoctoral Research Fellow 
(Grade F) depending on the skills and experience the individual can bring to 
the role.
Postdoctoral Research Fellow on Grade F from £35,211 up to £39,609 per annum. 
Please find further job specifications on the Exeter web site and any 
interested candidates should apply by the closing date of 28th May. For further 
information, please contact Prof J Littlechild, email 
j.a.littlech...@exeter.ac.uk, or telephone (01392) 7223468.
