Location:
Division of Structural Biology, Building for Genomic Medicine, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford, OX3 7BN Salary:
Research Grade 7: salary in range £38,674 - £43,171 p.a. This is inclusive of a pensionable Oxford University Weighting of £1,500 per year. We are seeking to appoint a highly-motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join Professor Bowden’s group to work in the area of integrated X-ray and EM-based studies of viral glycoprotein-antibody interactions. You will join a very lively and motivated international and interdisciplinary group of scientists at the Division of Structural Biology, Nuffield Department of Medicine. Responsibilities: Manage your own academic research activities. Adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and experimental protocols. Test hypotheses and analyze scientific data from a variety of sources. Review and refine working hypotheses as appropriate. Contribute ideas for new research projects. Present scientific results through journal articles, posters, and oral presentations at national/international conferences. Use specialist scientific equipment in a laboratory environment. Represent the research group at external meetings/seminars. Minimum Requirements: It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in a relevant subject (e.g. Structural Biology, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Virology) and have research experience in production and purification of protein samples for structure/function studies using mammalian and insect cell-based expression systems. You will have research experience in X-ray crystallography and/or cryoEM/cryoET, preferably of glycoproteins and membrane proteins, and in biophysical and cell-based assays. You will also have documented evidence of work at the level expected of first author publication in a leading refereed journal as well as the ability to manage the day-to-day running of a research project, including assisting the work of junior researchers. Good communication skills, including the ability to present work at international symposia and to non-specialist audiences, are essential for this role. Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application.
