Hello, and sincere apologies for the spam in case this posting is not relevant to you!
A full-time position until May 2014 (funds for an extension until May 2015 are already in place) is available at the Institute of Immunology & Infection Research, University of Edinburgh (http://schnauferlab.bio.ed.ac.uk/). We are seeking an independent and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to be part of an international collaboration. The goal of this Wellcome Trust-funded multidisciplinary project is to exploit the unique RNA editing process in trypanosomatid parasites as a target for the identification of much-needed new drugs. The project will involve the identification of drug candidates using state-of-the-art in silico and biochemical high throughput methods and the testing of such molecules in vitro and in vivo. A solid background in protein biochemistry and experience with advanced techniques in molecular biology as well as organisational skills are essential. Experience with drug discovery, X-ray crystallography, enzymology or cell culture techniques would be a plus. Although experience in molecular modelling is not required, a keen interest in drug discovery and in working at the interface of computational biology and molecular parasitology is expected Candidates should have, or will shortly obtain a PhD.
