The team is looking for a motivated and independent structural biologist with Masters or PhD level qualifications, ideally having worked with a range of protein targets being soluble and/or membrane-bound. On a 2-year contract, this position is a great opportunity for scientists interested in an industrial career to gain practical industry experience, working on structural biology platform activities which would mostly be structure solution but also with the potential for construct design, protein _expression_, purification and biophysics depending on the project. Prior experience in structure solution by crystallography is essential, whilst the rest of the pipeline described above as well as other structure solution methods such as cryo-EM would be considered an advantage.
Main Responsibilities:
- Provide guidance for construct design, _expression_ and purification, resulting in proteins suitable for crystallography
- Characterize proteins intended for crystallization and carry out crystallization trials, crystal optimization and structure solution for proteins and protein-ligand complexes
- Effectively communicate results through presentations, e-mails and reports, and actively participate in structure-based design efforts
Key Requirements:
- PhD or MSc degree in structural biology or a related field
- 1-3 years experience in practical structure solution, ideally across a number of protein families
