Postdoctoral position in molecular biology and biochemistry at
Imperial College London
A three-year position is available immediately to study the role of
the FtsH family of proteases in the protection of cyanobacteria and
plants from the damaging effects of light (so-called
Photoinhibition). This project will exploit our recent discovery of a
role for an FtsH protease in the early stages of repair of damaged
photosystem two complexes in vivo. A combination of molecular biology
and biochemical techniques will be used to investigate this protease
in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803.
The successful candidate is expected to have some expertise in
molecular biology and/or biochemistry and to be highly motivated.
Training will be offered where necessary in molecular biology
techniques and the purification and characterisation of
membrane-bound protein complexes.
Salary on the RA1A scale: =A321,620 - =A328,625 per annum including
London Allowance.
CVs including relevant experience and the addresses of two referees
can either be posted or emailed to Dr Peter Nixon, Department of
Biochemistry, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine,
London, SW7 2AY.
Informal enquiries: email p.nixon at ic.ac.uk or phone +44 (0)20 7594
5269. The closing date for applications is Friday November 16th 2001.
