Postdoc Opportunities in Structural Biology in United Kingdom

Harry Low’s Lab at Imperial College London is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to investigate the structure and mechanism of bacterial secretion systems. The project will use cryo-electron microscopy ( cryo-EM ) and structural biology approaches to understand how these systems function at the molecular level. The work sits at the intersection of bacterial pathogenesis, membrane remodelling and antibiotic discovery. By characterising secretion machinery and its mechanisms, the project aims to...

The University of Manchester is recruiting a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Kulathu group in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Function, School of Biological Sciences. The project investigates how different ubiquitin signals direct cellular outcomes, with a focus on polyubiquitin chains and cellular quality control. The researcher will develop a nanobody toolkit to recognise distinct polyubiquitin linkages and enable new experiments in ubiquitin biology. T...

Research Associate in Chemical Biology at the University of Manchester , based in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) and the Michael Smith Building. This fixed-term post (14 months) is part of a Wellcome Trust-funded project in the Jin group, focused on chemical biology , biochemistry , microbiology , and enzymology . The successful candidate will help study a bacterial pathway called sulfoglycolysis , with hands-on responsibilities including plasmid design and cloning, enzyme produ...

University of Oxford is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Structural Mass Spectrometry within the Department of Biochemistry in Oxford, United Kingdom. The post sits in the Newstead group and the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience , working with Professor Simon Newstead and Dr Jo Parker .

Coming soon at the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, The University of Leeds: two postdoctoral positions and one PhD position will soon be advertised. The research themes mentioned are outer membrane protein assembly mechanisms and cryoEM of amyloid. One postdoc and one PhD student will be linked to outer membrane protein assembly mechanisms, while one postdoc will focus on cryoEM of amyloid. The post is shared by Sheena Radford, Astbury Professor of Biophysics at The University o...

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 ...

The Deane and Rayner laboratories at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, University of Cambridge, are recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a fixed-term, full-time project in biology , medical science , structural biology, and parasite-host interaction research. The project investigates a multi-gene family expanded in Plasmodium vivax and related neglected human malaria parasites, with a focus on tryptophan-rich antigens (TRAgs) and their lipid-binding activity. The successf...
