The Institute of Cancer Research (University of London) Section of Structural Biology, Chelsea, London
X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHY MANAGER The Institute of Cancer Research (a College of the University of London) is a world-class cancer research organisation. In the 2008 Higher Education Funding Councils' Research Assessment Exercise, The ICR received the highest percentage of research assessed as four stars, world leading, in the areas of biological sciences and cancer studies. We came top of the Times Higher Education overall table of HEIs that submitted to more than one UoA - ranking it as the UK's leading academic research centre. Research in the Section of Structural Biology is aimed at understanding the structural basis for the function and regulation of proteins and complexes implicated in cancer. Our research programmes are complemented by close links with groups elsewhere in The Institute, and provide the mechanistic and structural framework for developing new therapeutics targeted at cancer. The Section is well equipped for structural biology with state of the art X-ray equipment, robotics and computational infrastructure. We seek to appoint an X-ray Crystallography Manager to facilitate the research programmes of the Section of Structural Biology and other groups within the Institute, particularly the Section of Cancer Therapeutics. The key roles of the post will be (i) to take direct responsibility for the overall crystallographic and crystallisation infrastructure of the Section, (ii) to coordinate and conduct crystallographic data collection experiments at synchrotron radiation sources, (iii) to assist PhD students and post-doctoral scientists to determine structures using X-ray crystallography, and (iv) contribute to the scientific output of the Section through protein crystal structure determination and analysis. The successful applicant will hold a PhD (or equivalent) in protein crystallography and have considerable post-doctoral experience. The position is non-timed limited, and the appointment will be at the Senior Scientific Officer level with a starting salary in the range £37,241 to £44,336 p.a. with a start date of 1st July or as soon as possible thereafter. Appointment will require clear evidence of contribution to published work. Informal enquires may be made to the Section Chairman, Professor David Barford (david.barf...@icr.ac.uk).
