NMR SPECTROSCOPY OF PROTEINS
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP POSITIONS
LUDWIG INSTITUTE OF CANCER RESEARCH
and UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON -
DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
We are looking for TWO people to join a new biological NMR
spectroscopy laboratory that is in the process of construction
at University College London (completion Summer 1994). Successful
applicants will be involved in the study of protein structure,
dynamics and ligand binding of signal transduction molecules (e.g.
PI3 Kinase) that are the focus of the research of Prof. Mike D.
Waterfield FRS (Director of the Ludwig Institute).
The laboratory is to include two brand new high field Varian
UnityPLUS spectrometers (one 500 MHZ and one 600 MHz) including
triple resonance and pulse field gradient capabilities. The
laboratory will be equipped with a suite of Silicon Graphics Indy
and Indigo workstations and will share a four processor SGI
Challenge server with the group Prof. Janet Thornton. A new 'wet
biochemistry' laboratory will also be established and it will be
possible to tap into the extensive biochemistry resources provided
by the Ludwig Institute.
Applicants should either:
Have previous experience of development of NMR methods, or the
application of NMR techniques to the study of protein structure
and function; or
Have previous experience of molecular biology and/or large scale
protein expression/purification skills and be able to demonstrate
an appreciation of the requirements of biological NMR studies.
Salaries (subject to negotiation) will be related to the MRC
non-clinical Scientific Salary Scale (approximately £15795 ->
£25107) plus the LICR London weighting (£2750 per annum). The
start date is negotiatable.
Applicants should forward a copy of their CV and the names of
three referees to Mr. Richard Anning, Ludwig Institute of Cancer
Research, Courtauld Building, 91 Riding House Street, London
W1P 8BT, U.K.
Informal enquiries may be made to Dr. Paul Driscoll (see details
below).
