They have three positions available for membrane protein structural biologists at the SGC in Oxford in Prof. Liz Carpenter's lab:
1. Membrane protein structural biology, pipeline and methods development position (closing date 23rd August)
2. Structural biology of human ion channels and ABC transporters (closing date 23rd August)
3. Structural biology of human ion channels, as part of a collaboration with Pharma (closing date 13th August)
The third post would involve work both in Oxford and Biberach in Germany
The group studies human integral membrane proteins involved in genetic disease. They work with geneticists to identify genes that are involved in neuropsychiatry, cancer, rare and metabolic disease and inflammatory diseases.
They aim to produce protein, assays and structures, as well as small molecule and protein binders. Through this work they aim to understand the role of these proteins in disease and thus promote the development of novel therapies.
They use both crystallography and electron cryo-microscopy for structure determination. The SGC and the University of Oxford provide an excellent working environment, with access to world class facilities for all structural biology, biochemical and biophysical studies.
