Dear colleagues,

 

My lab is looking for a Research Officer (Postdoc) to strengthen our team in the Ubiquitin Signalling Division at WEHI in Melbourne, Australia.

 

We aim to understand the structure and molecular mechanisms of E3 ubiquitin ligases, their basic biology, and roles in human diseases such as cancer, inflammatory conditions, and neurodegeneration. In the past years, our lab has gained deep insights into the mechanisms and structures of several E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes using X-ray crystallography (Lechtenberg et al., Nature 2016; Cotton et al., Mol. Cell 2022; Wang, Cotton et al., Nat. Comms. 2023; Cotton & Lechtenberg, Biochem. Soc. Trans., 2020). We now want to expand on these efforts, further integrating cryo-electron microscopy.

 

We offer a vibrant, multi-disciplinary and highly collaborative environment at the forefront of ubiquitin research and structural biology with ready and regular access to state-of-the-art biophysics (SEC-MALS, ITC, SPR) and structural biology equipment incl. cryo-EM (Titan Krios G4 with Falcon 4 direct detector at the Bio21/WEHI Ian Holmes Imaging Centre), automated crystallisation, synchrotron (Australian Synchrotron) and NMR facilities.

 

Applicants should possess a PhD in a relevant discipline, a demonstrated track record of 1st author publications in peer reviewed journals in structural biology and strong practical experience in protein biochemistry and structural biology (cryo-EM or crystallography).

Application closing date:  27 Feb 2023 (AEST)

 

The start date is flexible. Pre-application enquiries are welcome and encouraged. Please email me at [log in to unmask].
