Postdoctoral/Research Associate in Structural Biology - Division of Molecular Biosciences - Imperial College - London
Applications are invited for a Cancer Research UK funded Research Associate position investigating structure and mechanism of cell signalling systems involved in ER stress. The position will utilize biochemical and structural techniques, principally protein X-ray crystallography, to characterize proteins and complexes involved in ER stress pathways. The research will be based in the Division of Molecular Biosciences, under the supervision of Dr Maruf Ali. The position will involve expression, purification and crystallization of recombinant protein obtained from both baculovirus and bacterial expression systems. The role will also make use of biophysical and biochemical techniques for protein characterisation. The Division of Molecular Biosciences has access to state of the art facilities for all aspects of structural biology, including NMR, EM and X-ray machines. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in structural biology (or close to completion) or the equivalent professional qualification and experience and have a track record of protein expression, purification and crystallisation, for structural analysis. The starting salary for the post will be in the range of £26,720 - £30,520 per annum.
