Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biological NMR Spectroscopy
------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited for a position, available immediately and
tenable 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, particularly relating to the family of
phosophoinositide 3-kinases, by NMR spectroscopy and other physical
techniques. Candidates should be able to demonstrate in-depth
experience of multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy and solution structure
determination and/or the investigation of the dynamic properties of
proteins. Preferably the candidate should also have experience of
biochemical techniques for the production of isotope-labelled
recombinant 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. Addtionally we are part of the newly
inaugurated Joint Research School in Biomolecular Sciences set up in
conjunction with the Department of Crystallography at Birkbeck College,
headed by Professor Janet Thornton.
The salary (currently under review) for this position is in the range
UKP 17,127-23,045 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.]
