Postdoctoral Researcher Crystallography/Biochemistry
University Grade 7: £26,666 - £32,796 p.a
A highly motivated postdoctoral researcher is sought for our team
to
work on a project involving crystallography of protein interaction
domain complexes, computational screening for small inhibitor
molecules and various biochemical and biological assays with the
aim
to generate new protein structures and to search for and analyse
lead
compounds for cancer therapy.
The ideal candidate will have experience in protein crystallography
and
in silico screening as well as in biochemical techniques and the
desire
to apply structural data to find new concepts and leads for disease
therapy. You should be able to work independently and in a multi-
disciplinary team, communicate effectively and provide substantial
input into the conceptual and day-to-day development of the
project,
which is funded by Cancer Research UK. The position is available
immediately for up to 36 months. The salary range is Grade 7,
£26,666
- £32,796pa.
The Cell Signalling Group at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular
Medicine (WIMM; www.imm.ox.ac.uk) in Oxford studies signalling
proteins and pathways related to cancers with biological,
biochemical
and biophysical methods. Objects of main interest are protein -
protein
interactions, especially SH3 domains and the signalling pathway
heterogeneity in cancer cells
(www.imm.ox.ac.uk/pages/research/cancer_research/signaling.ht
m).
The university offers a variety of benefits to their employees
(further
details at www.ox.ac.uk/staff/index.html). Oxford provides a vibrant
and highly stimulating research environment and offers excellent
central facilities for robot-supported protein crystallography
(www.oppf.ox.ac.uk) and a brand new synchrotron in close
proximity
(www.diamond.ac.uk).
Applications, consisting of a detailed CV, the contact details of
three
referees one of whom must be the current or most recent
employer,
and a letter setting out examples of how you meet the selection
criteria
for the post including your future aspirations should be sent to
