We are looking to recruit a post-doctoral scientist with expertise in recombinant protein cell secretion to join our group. This position is supported by a Medical Research Council Confidence in Concept grant, which aims to build a system through which a novel therapeutic protein can be secreted from human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Successful secretion will result in production of a viable, functional protein that could be used for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in the developed world. You will have experience in tissue culture and the manipulation of proteins to promote their folding and secretion from cells as well as protein analysis and quantification. Experience of molecular biology techniques and the handling of primary human cell cultures would also be an advantage.
This is a full time position, which will be for a fixed period of nine months, with a latest start date of 1st October 2017.
