We are excited to announce that a three year fixed-term position has opened
for a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in the Natural History Museum
(London) to do research in the field of venomics. The candidate will be
expected to spearhead the day-to-day activities in a research project that
aims to characterize the composition, bioactitivies, and evolution of
polychaete venoms. Putative venom peptides and proteins will be profiled
for several polychaete species with both transcriptomic and proteomic
techniques, and the bioactivities of selected venom toxins will be assayed.
Together these analyses will provide insights into the biology and
evolution of polychaete venoms, and may lead to the identification of venom
toxins that could be promising for applied uses. The successful candidate
will be involved in all aspects of the research, including procurement of
specimens in the field, data production and analysis, and communication of
the results in both written in spoken formats.
Application deadline is 17 March 2013. For more details and information on
how to apply for this position please visit
