Full time, fixed term appointment for up to 3 years (ref 10583)<\/p>\n
\tWe are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Research Assistant to undertake structural analysis of the mechanism of action and inhibition of the kinesin-8 mitotic motor in the research team lead by Dr Carolyn Moores.<\/p>\n
\tThe project involves using cryo-electron microscopy to elucidate the nucleotide-dependent interaction of microtubule binding by this molecular motor protein. It will involve structure determination by cryo-electron microscopy and image processing of the motor-microtubule complex in the presence and absence of a specific inhibitor, as well as biochemical manipulation of the motor-microtubule interaction.<\/p>\n
\tThe project is funded by CRUK and involves collaboration with several international groups. The appointee will be a member of a team working on various aspects of cytoskeleton dynamics and will also interact with members of the Birkbeck Electron Microscopy group http:\/\/people.cryst.bbk.ac.uk\/~ubcg16z\/empage.html<\/a><http:\/\/people.cryst.bbk.ac.uk\/%7Eubcg16z\/empage.html<\/a>>.<\/p>\n \tApplicants should have a PhD in Structural Biology, Biophysics, Biochemistry or a related area, and have relevant research publications.<\/p>\n \tSalary: Grade 7. Starting salary of £33,804 (inclusive of London Allowance of £2,934 per annum), followed by annual increments to £38,722 per annum.<\/p>\n \tThe closing date for completed applications is Friday 2 September 2011.<\/p>\n \tInterviews are due to be held Wednesday 21 September 2011.<\/p>\n \tPlease click here<http:\/\/jobs.bbk.ac.uk\/fe\/tpl_birkbeckcollege01.asp?s=FoQnTYvIgXJoLlXgd&jobid=41426,4525361248&key=26618394&c=545634347765&pagestamp=segspknrqwtgpjzlgu<\/a>> for further information and to apply.<\/p>\n \tInformal enquiries should be made to Dr Carolyn Moores, Biological Sciences, Birkbeck, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX (e-mail: c.moores@mail.cryst.bbk.ac.uk<\/a><mailto:c.moores@mail.cryst.bbk.ac.uk>);<\/a> School web page: http:\/\/www.bbk.ac.uk\/biology\/<\/a> in the first instance.<\/p>\n \tBirkbeck is an equal opportunities employer and encourages applications from all candidates irrespective of gender, ethnicity, age, disability, religious belief and sexual orientation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Full time, fixed term appointment for up to 3 years (ref 10583) We are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Research Assistant to undertake structural analysis of the mechanism of action and inhibition of the kinesin-8 mitotic motor in the research team lead by Dr Carolyn Moores.
