Detail information about job Research Associate/Fellow (fixed-term). Terms and conditions vacancy
Applications are invited for the above position to work on a US Department of Defence funded research project directed jointly by Prof. Peter E Shaw (Nottingham) and Prof. Manohar Ratnam (Detroit) relating to the development of ELK-1 targeted molecules as a new paradigm for prostate cancer treatment. The specific tasks for this role will involve probing the structural details of the ELK1-Androgen Receptor interface using innovative biochemical and mass spectrometric approaches that circumvent the lack of ordered structures in the two interacting domains.
Candidates must hold or expect shortly to obtain a PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline and have direct, practical experience in recombinant protein expression using different cell systems, chromatography-based protein purification, protein mass spectrometry, and interpretation of LC-MS/MS data. Competence in standard molecular biology techniques is also required.
This full-time fixed-term post is available for 2 years.
Please note that all interviews will be scheduled to take place on Thursday 5th October 2017.
