Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Biological Chemistry to work on structural studies of plant pathogen proteins, with a particular emphasis on ‘effector’ proteins that act inside infected host cells.
The successful candidate will join a team working in the area of structure/function relationships in proteins from pathogens (of both mammals and plants) that mediate interactions with host cells. Further details of this project and the laboratory can be found at http://jobs.jic.ac.uk. The post holder will be responsible for gene cloning, protein production, solution studies, crystallisation and structure determination by X-ray crystallography of a number of selected effector proteins (chosen for their biological relevance and tractability) from specific economically important plant pathogens.
The John Innes Centre is a world-class Institute and is looking to appoint an exceptional candidate who has, or expects to soon receive a PhD in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology or a related subject. We will be providing the job-holder with opportunities to develop their technical and transferable skills during this assignment, by way of training programmes, coaching and mentoring.
Essential skills required are an enthusiasm for research, self-motivation and the ability to work as part of a team towards shared goals. You will also have excellent laboratory skills and some previous experience/knowledge of protein structure determination by X-ray crystallography.
The appointment will be as a Postdoctoral Researcher and the salary will be within the range £24,200 to £27,200 (pay award pending) dependent upon qualifications and experience. Further details of eligibility and reward package are available from http://www.jic.ac.uk/corporate/opportunities/vacancies/PDF_Scheme_overview.doc
