Dear All, A post-doc position is available at the Structural Genomics Consortium in Oxford (http://www.thesgc.org/scientists) to study the structures of human ion channels and other human membrane proteins.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and energetic membrane protein scientist with a strong interest in ion channel structural biology. This role will involve purification, crystallisation, structure characterisation and functional studies of human ion channels and other membrane proteins. You will be working in close collaboration with a team of membrane protein scientists in the Integral Membrane Protein (IMP) group, led by Dr Liz Carpenter. In the past two years we have developed a pipeline at the SGC for production of human membrane proteins in the baculovirus/insect cell expression system. We recently solved our first structure, first structure of a human ABC transporter, the mitochondrial ABC transporter ABCB10, (pdb: 2ly4). We plan in future to focus on medically important human ion channels. The post is available for two years in the first instance. Closing Date: Friday, January 20, 2012 For informal enquiries about this post, please email liz.carpen...@sgc.ox.ac.uk.
