[3DEM] Post Doc Position available in Newcastle Australia

[Peter Lewis]

Post-Doctoral Position in Single Particle Analysis. We are looking for a
suitably qualified candidate to fill a position in single particle
analysis of transcription complexes at the University of Newcastle,
Australia. The position will be initially available for 2 years. Salary
from A$57,579 depending on experience. The post-holder will investigate
a number of transcription complexes of RNA polymerase using both
cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography, in conjunction with
Dr Ben Hankamer at the University of Queensland
(http://www.imb.uq.edu.au/), Australia, and Dr Rick Lewis Univeristy of
Newcastle, UK (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/camb/), respectively. RNA polymerase
is a target for the design of anti-microbials and the structures
obtained during the course of the research proposal will serve as
templates for the design and synthesis (in collaboration with local
colleagues) and the validation by biochemical and structural analyses of
novel anti-microbials. Prior experience in cryo-electron microscopy and
single particle analysis or X-ray structure determination of large
assemblies would be advantageous and training will be provided where
necessary. It will be necessary for the post-holder to make several
trips to Brisbane, for the EM studies, whilst also participating in an
exchange programme with colleagues in Newcastle, UK.  Newcastle
(Australia) is a coastal city famous for its surfing beaches found ~100
miles (160 km) north of Sydney situated at the mouth of the Hunter
river, and adjacent to the world famous Hunter valley wine-growing
region. The city enjoys a very pleasant climate all year round.  For
