The research group
studies the functional mechanisms of proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes by integrative structural biology. The laboratory uses and develops high-field NMR spectroscopy methods as major structural biology tool, in combination with several other techniques. The Research Fellow will work in one of the following fields: RNA metabolism, regulation of gene expression, DNA repair, signalling. The post holder will use NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and/or Electron Microscopy, as well as Mass Spectrometry and Small Angle Scattering, to study the structure of protein–protein or protein–nucleic acids complexes and discover the mechanisms of their function and regulation. There are opportunities to develop new approaches to integrative structural biology with the combination of the techniques mentioned above. In addition, the Research Fellow will use molecular biology, biophysical and biochemical techniques to characterize biomolecular complexes and their activity
in vitro
and cellular biology approaches to verify the functional mechanisms
in vivo
We are a group of highly motivated structural biologists with an interdisciplinary, international background. We offer a first-class research environment with state-of-the-art equipment in molecular biology and biochemistry and the best equipped biomolecular NMR facility in the UK (comprising 1000, 900 and 800 MHz spectrometers equipped with cryoprobes and MAS probes for both solution- and solid-state NMR spectroscopy). Excellent EM instrumentation is available at the Midlands Regional Cryo Electron Microscope Facility in Leicester.
Main Duties and Responsibilities:
Set research goals and manage the project
Plan experimental and analysis steps in the project
Collect research data; this may be through a variety of research methods, such as scientific experimentation and literature reviews
Analyse and interpret research data
Present research outputs, including drafting academic publications or parts thereof, for example at seminars and as posters
Develop or adapt techniques, models and methods
Propose new research approaches to benefit the project
Provide guidance as required to support staff and any students who may be assisting with research
Skills and Knowledge, Qualifications and Experience:
PhD (or near to completion) in Biophysics/ Biochemistry/ Chemical Biology/ Structural Biology or related areas. Or, equivalent qualifications.
Proficiency in either biomolecular NMR spectroscopy or single-particle electron microscopy, both in data acquisition and analysis.
Practical experience in a biochemical laboratory and/or handling nucleic acids
Excellent analytical skills
Ability to analyse information and communicate effectively
Ability to access and organise resources successfully
Willingness to work in a competitive, international environment.
