An RA position in membrane protein structural biology is available in the group of Dr Bernadette Byrne, Imperial College London. The position is funded for two years by GlaxoSmithKline as part of an industrial collaboration focusing on the structure determination of clinically relevant G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The research will entail the expression, purification and crystallization of the GPCR targets.
The group is based at the South Kensington campus of Imperial College London and is fully equipped with a membrane protein structural biology research platform with excellent facilities and a stimulating research environment. It is expected that the successful candidate will also spend time working at GlaxoSmithKline, a short distance from London. The ideal candidate has a PhD in Structural Biology, Biochemistry or equivalent and with well-documented experience in protein purification and protein crystallography while experience with membrane proteins would be an advantage. The position is available immediately.
