We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated scientist to operationally manage and develop the protein production facility. The successful candidate will work with the Principal Investigators within the Division of Biological Chemistry and Drug Discovery (BCDD) to ensure that high quality protein is delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner and to develop protein expression strategies appropriate for biophysical, biochemical and crystallographic study.

Key competencies:

Location: Biocity Scotland, Newhouse, Lanarkshire

The project will involve proteomic analysis of gene expression and protein turnover and localisation in human cells. A combination of mass spectrometry, cell biology and virology approaches will be used.

The position is available for 2 years.

We are looking for recent PhD graduate. Prior experience in virology is expected.

We require a postdoctoral research assistant with a strong background in single-molecule fluorescence to work on nucleic acid structure and folding. This post requires a good knowledge of optics and scientific computer programming (particularly MATLAB). Experience in working with fluorescence and FRET xperiments is desirable.

The position is available until 31 January 2015.

How to Apply:

The Open Microscopy Environment Consortium (OME) is a growing team dedicated to building open source tools for managing, analyzing and understanding large, multi-dimensional datasets generated in life sciences research and biomedicine. We have lots of great functionality and are entering an exciting phase of development and integration.
