MRC PDRA Scientist Position - X-ray studies of Prion Protein

A full time post-doctoral position funded for one year in the first 
instance with possible extension to two years is available immediately for 
a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in X-ray techniques 
particularly protein crystallography and X-ray scattering. This position at 
the MRC Prion Unit is for a collaborative programme being carried out at 
the Daresbury Laboratory, Cheshire, where the candidate will be mainly 
located. 
The successful applicant will join well-established teams in both 
laboratories in a multidisciplinary environment and will focus on 
structural studies of prion proteins using synchrotron based x-ray 
techniques (primarily x-ray crystallography and solution x-ray scattering).

Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. degree in structural biology or a 
related field and a background in at least one of the following areas: 
biochemistry, biophysics, and X-ray methods. They should enjoy working as 
part of an energetic team. 

The post holder works collaboratively with other staff of the Unit and 
Daresbury Laboratory, in particular with Drs. Svetlana Antonyuk and Guenter 
Grossmann. 

The post holder reports to Professor Tony Clark at MRC Prion Unit and 
Professor Samar Hasnain at Daresbury Laboratory. For informal enquiries
