MRC PROTEIN PHOSPHORYLATION UNIT COLLEGE OF LIFE SCIENCES
UNIVERSITYOF DUNDEE, SCOTLAND PROGRAMME LEADER, CELL BIOLOGIST WITH X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC EXPERTISEThe Unit is seeking to recruit a cell biologist with X-ray crystallographic expertise who will develop a structurally-based programme aimed at understanding aspects of the role of protein phosphorylation in cell regulation and human disease. The Unit invites applications from both established scientists and younger investigators wishing to set up their own laboratory for the first time. The appointment will be made on the Medical Research Council’s Programme Leader Band 2 scale (£43,147-no upper limit) or Programme Leader-Track Band 3 scale (£34,933-£42,754 per annum), with initial placement depending on achievements and experience.
The MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit is a major international centre for research on cell signalling. Its current Programme Leaders include Europe’s two most cited scientists over the past ten years in the field of Biology and Biochemistry and its innovative collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry (The Division of Signal Transduction Therapy) received a Queen’s Anniversary Award in 2006. Another of the Unit’s Programme Leaders was recently awarded the 2008 Colworth Medal (under 36 prize) of the Biochemical Society. For further information about the Unit and its research please consult our website (www.dundee.ac.uk/lifesciences/mrcppu/).
Applications in the form of a CV, outline statement of current research and future plans, and providing the names and contact numbers of 4 referees should be emailed to Sir Philip Cohen FRS FRSE, Director, MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee (email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) by April 30th. Informal enquiries should also be sent to the Director.
