Postdoctoral Research Associate in Protein Structure and Cell Evolution
Applications for this vacancy closed on 23 August 2024 at 12:00PM
You will join the Richards molecular microbiology group with responsibility
for carrying out research for a Leverhulme Trust project with aim of
characterising the structural biology of unique fungal organelles associated
with rhodopsin function and phototaxis (a putative subcellular eye).
The project will focus on using cutting edge structural microscopy (FIB-SEM
and CryoET) to characterise prominent uniform structures found in these
organelles (working between the departments of Biology and Biochemistry). You
must be capable of working independently and will be responsible for
developing new protocols for isolation of sub cellular fractions and
performing CryoET, FIB-SEM, subtomogram analysis and model building. The
successful candidate must also take these data through to protein structural
bioinformatic analyses. You will have the opportunity to collaborate in the
preparation of research publications and presenting papers at conferences or
public meetings.
The successful applicant must hold or be close to completion of a relevant
PhD/DPhil, together with experience in protein structural biology and feel
confident working between two diverse research groups. You will possess
sufficient specialist knowledge in the discipline of cryogenic electron
microscopy to work within established research programmes. You will have the
ability to manage your own academic and associated activities. Excellent
communications skills, including the ability to write for publications,
present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at
meetings is essential.
Where Covid-19 has resulted in substantial disruption to your work or research
outputs, please explain this by providing an additional paragraph in your
supporting statement.
The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All
applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
This post is full time and available immediately.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 23 August 2024,
interviews are likely to be scheduled for late August. Applications for this
vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment system, and you will be
required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online
application.
