The Department of Biochemistry within the University of Oxford are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate with experience of structural biology techniques to join the group of Dr Paul Elliott to investigate the mechanisms of ubiquitin signalling within inflammation.
The Elliott group is a newly established laboratory within the Department of Biochemistry and is at the forefront of ubiquitin signalling in inflammation. The group employs a multifaceted approach including biochemical, biophysical and structural biology techniques (NMR, protein crystallography and cryo-EM) to obtain mechanistic insights into the function of ubiquitin in regulating inflammatory signalling. The postholder will have access to state of the art facilities located within the thriving department and will employ structural biology methods to address the group’s research questions.
Applicants should hold a PhD/DPhil, or be near completion of a PhD/DPhil in structural biology, biochemistry or related area and have gained experience in a wide range of structural biology experimental techniques, including cryo-electron microscopy. You will be highly motivated with a proven ability to independently and effectively manage research projects, whilst also working within a team environment. Additionally, you will have excellent written communication skills and have demonstrated your ability to produce high quality research through publication in peer-reviewed journals.
