Dear All, please find below details of a PDRA position available at the University of Manchester. All enquiries should be made to Dr. Lydia Tabernero, lydia.tabern...@manchester.ac.uk<mailto:lydia.tabern...@manchester.ac.uk>.
Thanks, Colin Postdoctoral Position in X-ray Crystallography Structure of the endosomal ESCRT-I core complex Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester Manchester, UK A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr Lydia Tabernero to study the structural basis for the assembly of a protein complex that is essential for mitogenic receptor down regulation. The project will focus on understanding the core structure of the endosomal-sorting complex, ESCRT-I (Stefani et al., 2011, Curr. Biol. 21, 1245050). The position is part of an ongoing research collaboration between Dr Lydia Tabernero and Professor Philip Woodman directed towards understanding the molecular basis for the down-regulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. This is a high-impact fast-moving basic research area with direct implications for bettering our understanding of a key cellular process that is disrupted in several diseases. The successful applicant will join a collaborative team, also involving the laboratories of Professor Philip Woodman and Dr Alan Roseman, and will use X-ray crystallography and other structural techniques. The ideal candidate will have (or expect to gain shortly) a PhD in structural biology, and will have experience in recombinant protein expression and X-ray crystallography. The post is full time for up to 24 months and can be available immediately. Salary: £29,541 to £36,298 depending on experience Closing date :19/03/2013 Reference :LSX-02347 Further particulars and a full description of the project and job responsibilities can be found at: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk<http://www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk> Informal enquiries Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Lydia Tabernero, Lecturer: Email: lydia.tabern...@manchester.ac.uk<mailto:lydia.tabern...@manchester.ac.uk> Telephone: 0161 275 7794 The University of Manchester values a diverse workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
