Job Description:

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate with experience in structural biology techniques to join Dr. Paul Elliott’s Lab to investigate the mechanisms of ubiquitin signalling within inflammation and cell death. The Elliott group, embedded within the Department of Biochemistry, is at the forefront of the ubiquitin signalling field. The group employs biochemical, biophysical, and structural biology techniques (NMR, protein crystallography, cryo-EM) to address fundamental questions about ubiquitin regulation and function.

The post-holder will have access to state-of-the-art facilities within the Department and will employ structural biology methods to address the group’s research questions. This is a full-time, fixed-term position funded by the BBSRC and Cancer Research UK for up to 3 years. The starting salary will depend on qualifications and relevant skills, as well as funding availability.
