available in Murray Stewart's Structural Cell Biology Group. One post
will concentrate on the expression, purification, and characterization
of proteins and complexes involved in nuclear trafficking and mitosis,
whereas the other will concentrate on their structure and function. The
interdisciplinary nature of these projects will require the integration
of structural, cellular, molecular and biochemical methods. Recent work
from this research group includes: Nature, 432:872, Nature, 435:693,
Nature Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 8:195, and Mol. Cell, 33:727.
