WELLCOME TRUST CENTRE FOR CELL-MATRIX RESEARCH
UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE *
(Ref - LS/009/06) *

*Starting salary between* £22,289 to £25,565

Funded by the BBSRC, this post is available within a research group 
integrated into the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell-Matrix Research ( 
http://www.manchester.ac.uk/wtccmr 
<http://www.manchester.ac.uk/wtccmr>), an interdisciplinary research 
centre embedded within the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of 
Manchester. The Centre was established in 1995 with the long-term aims 
of elucidating the structure and function of extracellular matrices, 
cell-matrix adhesions, and cell signalling pathways, defining the 
contribution of cell-matrix interactions to human diseases, and 
developing approaches for preventing and treating these diseases.

The project will investigate the structure and assembly of collagen VI 
microfibrils **which play a vital role in connective tissue structure, 
connecting cells and matrix components. A range of biophysical 
techniques will be involved. You should be highly motivated, have a PhD 
in structural biology or biophysics and ideally have practical 
experience of either cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray scattering or X-ray 
crystallography. The research will be carried out in the newly 
constructed Michael Smith Building which houses state-of-the-art 
facilities. Closing date: 17 February 2006.
