[Morris, Edward P]

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION 
Section of Structural Biology
Institute of Cancer Research
London

A Post-Doctoral position is available within Dr Ed Morris' group to investigate the structure of the inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) and related signalling complexes by electron microscope based methodologies. The project primarily involves electron microscopy of protein complexes using both negative stain and cryoelectron microscope methodologies and the analysis of the resulting data by single particle methods. Some biochemistry, protein purification and sample optimisation, may also be required. You will hold a PhD, or be close to completing their PhD studies, in a relevant field and have experience in structural biology. Familiarity with electron microscopy and single particle image analysis would be an advantage as would a knowledge of the biological background relevant to the structural analysis of signalling complexes. 

The Institute of Cancer Research  is in the process of setting up a new facility for cryoelectron microscope studies which will include Tecnai F20 and Tecnai T12 electron microscopes and the Section of Structural Biology is well equipped for computer based image analysis and protein production. 

The position is available for a period of 35 months with a starting salary in the range £23,619 to £27,973 p.a. inclusive, based on skills and previous experience. Informal enquires may be made to Dr E. Morris (Tel:+ 44 (0)20 7153 5531 / Email: edward.morris at icr.ac.uk). Please DO NOT send your application to Dr Morris; CVs must be submitted in line with the instructions below.
