Coming soon: 2 Postdocs and 1 PhD in Outer Membrane Protein Assembly Mechanisms and CryoEM of Amyloid The University of Leeds in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in membrane protein structural biology at the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence , within the MIBTP PhD programme . The project focuses on how membrane proteins integrate physical and chemical cues by studying the structure and mechanisms of non-canonical microbial mechanosensitive channels . The work will be carried out with Benjamin Lane and Prof. Alan Goddard , in collaboration with Dr Emma Hesketh at the Midlands Regional CryoEM Facility . This opportunity will appeal to...

Research Associate on the structural biology of bacterial secretion systems at Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus, London, UK). This is a postdoctoral research opening in the Department of Infectious Disease , working with Prof Harry Low and the Low Lab on the molecular mechanism of bacterial secretion systems, including the Tad and Type 4 pilus systems. The project is strongly focused on structural biology , cryo-electron microscopy (SPA, in-situ SPA, tomography), TIRF microscopy ...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute, London, United Kingdom in structural biology, virology, biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology . This funded PhD project, supervised by Dr I Taylor , focuses on the ZAP antiviral response and how the proteins ZAP, KHNYN, and Trim25 assemble into molecular complexes that recognize viral RNA and trigger RNA degradation. The project aims to uncover the structure and mechanism of this antiviral system using protein purification, RNA-binding as...

Postdoctoral Associate in Structural Biology at the University at Buffalo This posting announces a postdoc opening in the Structural Biology Department at the University at Buffalo (United States). The project focuses on the structural biology of human membrane proteins and membrane protein complexes involved in epithelial cell/cell adhesion and intercellular transport . The successful candidate will work with advanced structural methods including X-ray crystallography , cryo-electron microscopy...

Two PhD positions are available at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (Leibniz-FMP) in Berlin, Germany , in the Molecular Biophysics Research Unit led by Prof. Adam Lange . The project focuses on the structure, dynamics, and function of membrane proteins , including potassium channels and rhomboid proteases , using solid-state NMR and cryo-EM . The post highlights access to a 1.2 GHz NMR spectrometer and a Titan Krios cryo-EM instrument, with additional emphasis on cell-...
