Post-doctoral Training Fellow: Cryo-electron microscopy and single particle analysis
(funded by Cancer Research UK)
Chelsea, London
We seek to appoint a Post-doctoral Training Fellow to Dr Edward Morris’ team in the Division of Structural Biology. The post is funded by a 5 year programme grant from Cancer Research UK. The successful applicant will undertake structural analysis by high resolution cryo-electron microscopy and single particle analysis on protein complexes associated with the ubiquitin-proteasome system, in particular the 26S proteasome and the COP-9 signalosome. The goal is to establish an improved understanding of these molecular machines which are either established or potential targets for cancer drugs.
Applicants should possess a PhD (or equivalent) in biological sciences. Experience in and enthusiasm for structural biology is essential and experience in electron microscopy and single particle analysis would be highly advantageous.
Appointment will be on a Fixed Term Contract for 3 years in the first instance, with a starting salary in the range of £28,087 to £36,170 p.a. inclusive (based on previous post-doctoral experience).
To apply please submit your CV and covering letter (addressing where you meet the person specification and including the names and addresses of two referees) online at http://www.icr.ac.uk/jobsearch

Closing date: 7 February 2014
The Division of Structural Biology at the Institute of Cancer Research has an outstanding research record in the structural biology of proteins and protein complexes relevant to cancer and cancer therapy with a particular emphasis on electron microscopy and protein crystallography. It is excellently equipped for cryo-electron microscopy (FEI TF20 and T12 microscopes, 4K CCD camera, Vitrobot), single particle analysis (hardware and software) X-ray crystallography and protein production and purification.
The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) is one of the world’s most influential cancer research institutes. Our mission is to make the discoveries that defeat cancer. We have a long and distinguished history of research with a major impact on the outcome for cancer patients. Our unique partnership with The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust (RMH) makes us the largest comprehensive cancer centre in Europe, performing high quality original basic research and translational studies. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Professor Alan Ashworth FRS, we are committed to attracting, developing and retaining the best minds in the world. The ICR was ranked as the UK’s top academic research centre in the 2008 Higher Education Funding Council Research Assessment Exercise. Based on our publication record, citations and impact we rank among the world’s leading cancer research centres.
