[3dem] 2 postdoctoral positions available

[Per Bullough]

Postdoctoral Research Associates (Fixed-term)

Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

University of Sheffield

Two positions are available to work within a team concerned with the  
architecture, assembly and composition of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus  
anthracis spore coats and exosporium. Applicants with relevant  
experience can apply for both positions if they wish. The successful  
candidates will have, or be about to be awarded, a PhD in a relevant  
discipline. These posts are available immediately for up to a three  
year period.

Position 1. Structural biologist/electron microscopist

Ref: RO6697	Closing Date:	6 November 2008 Grade: 7	
Salary: £26,665 -  £29,138 per annum, depending on experience.
The successful applicant will be responsible primarily for structural  
work on the project under the direction of Professor Per Bullough. The  
work will involve cryoEM of 2D crystals of spore components. The post  
would ideally suit an electron microscopist or X-ray crystallographer  
but these are not essential skills as training can be provided. Some  
experience in protein biochemistry and/or molecular biology would be  
an advantage.


Position 2. Molecular biologist/biochemist

Ref: RO6696	Closing Date:	6 November 2008 Grade: 7	
Salary: £26,665 - £29,138 per annum, depending on experience.

The successful applicant will be responsible primarily for biochemical  
and molecular biological aspects of the project, under the direction  
of Professor Anne Moir. The work will be directly complementary to,  
and collaborative with, the structural biologist on the project.  
Experience of microbiology and molecular genetics is essential for  
this post.
