I would like make you aware of an opening for a postdoctoral
researcher in the Robinson Lab at the Institute of Structural and
Molecular Biology (ISMB) within Birkbeck College, London UK. We are
seeking an ambitious and driven research scientist to investigate the
structure and function of a biomedically important family of chromatin
modifying complexes.
The position will involve interdisciplinary research combining
biophysical and structural approaches (X-ray crystallography and
cryo-EM) and features exciting collaborative opportunities with groups
at UCSF and the Institut Pasteur. The qualified candidate should have
obtained a Ph.D. with a solid foundation in biophysical approaches and
experience in biochemistry and structural biology.
The ISMB is a vibrant, multidisciplinary and collaborative research
environment that bridges the Departments of Chemistry/Structural and
Molecular Biology at University College London and the Department of
Biological Sciences at Birkbeck. The ISMB is a UK centre of excellence
for cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography. The EM suite
currently houses a 300KeV Polara with K2 detector as well as FEI
Tecnai F20, T12 and T10 for sample characterization and optimization.
Cryo-EM capabilities will be further strengthened by a recently
purchased 300KeV FEI Titan Krios, to be delivered in early 2018. The
X-ray lab comprises a robotics suite for liquid handling, tray setup,
barcoding and imaging and an X-ray room for in-house diffraction
experiments.
The full-time post is funded by the Medical Research Council for a
period of up to five years, includes a competitive London-weighted
salary and will be available from May 2018. For more information about
the position and to apply, use the following link:
