early-career researcher

A post-doctoral position is available to work as part of a collaborative Advanced Research + Invention Agency-funded project. Your part of the project would be to design, produce and characterise extended 2-dimensional protein arrays from de novo designed protein components.

The post will be held in the Boyle and Woolfson group based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol. The other collaborators involved in the project, Prof. Mark Wallace, Dr. Wayne Dickson, and Dr. Aliaksandra Rakovich are all from King's College London (KCL) and as such, the job will require regular travel to London and active collaboration with other postdocs on the grant (6 in total).

We are therefore seeking a motivated early-career researcher with experience in protein design and cryo-EM or AFM who is willing to work as part of an interdisciplinary team., The position would be suited to a talented, ambitious early career researcher with an interest in de novo protein design and microscopy (i.e. AFM and/or cryo-EM). Essential skills for the role include experience with the design or engineering and production of natural or de novo proteins; and the biophysical and structural characterisation of proteins, including experience with cryo-EM, AFM, or crystallography.
