Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biological NMR Spectroscopy
------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited for a position, available immediately
for up to three years, in Joint UCL/LICR Biological NMR group.
The successful candidate will be responsible for pursuing the
characterisation of the structural and functional properties of signal
transduction proteins, by NMR spectroscopy and other physical
techniques. Candidates should have experience of molecular biology
and protein expression and purification techniques for the production
of recombinant proteins for NMR or X-ray diffraction studies.
Candidates would preferably have a degree of familiarity with multi-
dimensional NMR spectroscopy and solution structure determination
and/or the investigation of the dynamic properties of
proteins.
The NMR group currently comprises 10 researchers at student to post-
doctoral level, is well equipped for molecular biology, protein
expression and purification, and NMR spectroscopy (three channel and
four channel 600 and 500 MHz Varian spectrometers with pulse shaping
and pulse field gradient accessories). We are physically located
outside the Ludwig Institute proper in the UCL Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology Department. We share a working environment with
crystallographers and bioinformatics specialists. We positively
encourage NMR group members to attempt crystallisation trials.
Additionally we are part of the newly inaugurated Joint Research
School (JRS) in Biomolecular Sciences set up in conjunction with
the Department of Crystallography at Birkbeck College, headed by
Professor Janet Thornton. The JRS is a first-round candidate for a
BBSRC National Centre for Structural Biology (decision expected
Spring 1998).
The salary (currently under review) for this position is in the range
UKP 17,641-21,057 plus UKP 2,750 London supplement, dependent on age
and experience. [UKP = UK Pounds. Employment would be administered
through the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, not the University.]
