Applications are invited for a BBSRC-funded Research Associate position in the University of Sheffield. This is a collaborative project jointly supervised by Prof. Per Bullough and Dr. Rob Fagan (School of Biosciences) and Prof. Jamie Hobbs (Department of Physics & Astronomy). In this multidisciplinary project you will join a team applying state-of-the-art techniques of structural and molecular biology to investigate the way spores of pathogenic bacteria germinate and their subsequent outgrowth.
You will be based in the Department of Physics and Astronomy under the supervision of Prof. Hobbs, and liaise with the laboratories of Prof. Bullough and Dr. Fagan in the adjacent School of Biosciences. You will have, or be about to obtain, a PhD, with experience of using atomic force microscopy and/or other microscopy techniques such as CryoEM or light microscopy to study biological systems from a biophysical perspective.
For further details please contact jamie.hobbs@sheffield.ac.uk or p.bullough@sheffield.ac.uk.
