Applications are invited from post-doctoral scientists to join a group directed by Professors Vassilis Koronakis and Colin Hughes, using molecular, biochemical, biophysical and structural biology approaches to study TolC-dependent tripartite pumps that direct (type I) protein toxin secretion and (multi)drug efflux by bacteria.
Applicants should have a PhD and a background in biochemistry and molecular biology, and experience in biochemical, biophysical and/or structural biology approaches would be beneficial. The successful candidate will apply biochemical approaches e.g. site-specific cross-linking, ITC, fluorescence spectroscopy, to study membrane proteins and complexes, and mechanisms of export and efflux.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 18 February 2011.
