A postdoctoral research post is available to undertake translational structural biology work on a kinase target within my research group in the Department of Biochemistry. My group is located in the state-of-the-art Henry Wellcome Building with access to excellent facilities for biochemical studies, structural biology, cell culture, microscopy and computer analysis. The position is funded by Cancer Research UK and is available immediately for one year in the first instance, renewable for a further year depending on progress. Prospective candidates should hold a degree and Ph.D in biochemistry, or related discipline, and have expertise in X-ray crystallography. Applicants with experience in high-throughput crystallography applied to structure-based drug design would be at an advantage.
My team has an established track record in the study of protein kinases and in the development of kinase chemical inhibitors in drug discovery. See the group website for further information (http://web.me.com/baylisslab). Informal enquiries can be directed to me via email (rb...@le.ac.uk). The closing date for this post is midnight on 18th October 2011.
