We are using a combination of X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM to determine the structures of eukaryotic ribosomes undergoing translation initiation and during elongation (refs 1,2). To help us further develop our programme, we are seeking to appoint a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant, initially funded for three years by the BBSRC. The project will build on recent work that has shown how eukaryotic translation initiation factors remodel the small subunit of the ribosome to give access to mRNA (ref. 2). The successful candidate will be expected to have experience in the structural analysis of macromolecular complexes, with a background in a major subdiscipline of structural biology.
