Sander Granneman is a group leader at the University of Edinburgh (Granneman Lab), Scotland, UK, and she has a post-doc position available for a structural biologist.
The post, funded by a Medical Research Council programme grant, is initially for 2 years but can be extended to 4 years. Looking for an experienced structural biologist that has a track record in structural analysis (X-ray crystallography and/or cryo-EM) of protein complexes.The project aims to understand how helix-turn-helix proteins in bacteria are also able to recognise RNA and what the functional significance of this interaction is. It is a hugely interdisciplinary project, involving biochemistry, biophysics, computational analysis of sequencing data and drug discovery and therefore provides a unique learning opportunity for scientists willing to expand their toolset. We don't expect you to have knowledge in all of these areas! The most important thing is that the candidate has experience in structural biology and biophysical analysis of protein-ligand interactions.
Feel free to e-mail Sander Granneman (Sander.Granneman@ed.ac.uk) to discuss this further.
