A post-doctoral position in AMPA glutamate receptor biology (AMPA-Rs) is available in Ingo Greger's lab at the MRC LMB, Cambridge. This post is funded by MRC-Technology and aims to develop AMPA-R modulators targeting the receptor's N-terminal domain (NTD). We seek an experienced crystallographer with an interest in ion channels. This is a multidisciplinary, collaborative project involving ligand-observed NMR screens, biophysical approaches, ligand evolution and AMPAR electrophysiology.
