Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Protein Crystallography
Ref: 131

This is a final reminder for this post. The closing date is the 8th March
2008.

Applications are invited for a three year Postdoctoral position, funded by
the MRC, in the laboratory of Dr. Darren Thompson. The successful
candidate will work on the Complement component C1. The Complement system
is part of the innate immune system and is implicated in such conditions as
arthritis and heart disease. The aim of the project is to determine the
structure of this complex and investigate its stability and activity. The
work will involve the use of X-ray crystallography, E.M, fluorescence and
DLS.

The school is well equipped for protein biophysics including: Circular
dichroism (Jasco CD), and state of the art UV/Vis rapid scan and
fluorescence /anisotropy /CD stopped-flow (Applied Photophysics * and
SX18MV stopped flow) and equilibrium fluorescence. The Department of
Biochemistry houses protein crystallography facilities (RU-H3RHB rotating
anode X-ray generator with Osmic max-Flux optics and RAXIS-IV image plate
area detector and MSC cryo system) facilities and additional biophysics
facilities including ITC and atomic force microscopy. There are also state
of the art facilities for microarrays and the newly-created Sussex Centre
for Advanced Microscopy provides state of the art facilities for confocal,
2-photon, and CCD microscopy, with fluorescence correlation and lifetime
capabilities, a Hitachi7100 transmission electron microscope and cryo- and
scanning electron microscopy.

Applicants should have appropriate degrees and experience in protein
biochemistry and protein crystallography. Salary will be within the range
£24,403 - £27,466 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience.
This post is available immediately and will be offered on a fixed term
contract for a period of 3 years.
