Post-doctoral Research Associate
The molecular basis of stretch activation in muscle
A post-doctoral position is available to work on the stretch
activation of muscle, using insect flight muscle (Lethocerus and
Drosophila) as a model system. The aim of the project is to find out
how the regulatory complex, troponin, senses stretch. The structure
of the complex and the interaction of subunits within the complex
will be investigated, as well changes in the structure occurring when
the muscle is stretched. The project will involve, molecular biology,
protein chemistry and spectroscopic techniques. The position is
funded by the BBSRC for 3 years and is available from April 1 2015.
The starting salary is £30,434 – £31,342 per annum. Enquiries can be
made to belinda.bull...@york.ac.uk. The closing date is March 12 2015.
