Descripción de la vacante

The Rosalind Franklin Institute is seeking a Research Associate in Structural Cell Biology to develop methods for reconstructing macromolecular structures from in-situ data, focusing on cytoskeletal and mitochondrial changes with aging and disease.

You will collaborate with Imperial, UCL and Oxford, coordinating specimen procurement and high-quality cryo-electron tomography data acquisition, and you will help build comprehensive structure-determination pipelines.

Formación

• PhD/DPhil (or equivalent) required; applicants may be considered if thesis submitted and appointment starts at £38,500 p.a. with increase after qualification.
• Experience in computational reconstruction of macromolecular structures from in-situ data.
• Interest in cytoskeletal and mitochondrial changes during aging and neurodegeneration.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and streamline computational approaches to in-situ structure determination methods from tissue sources that enable an assessment of macromolecular diversity.
• Demonstrate leadership as part of a team working with clinicians to prepare tissues for cryo-electron tomography.
• Plan and conduct experiments, analyse results and deliver outputs (reports, patents) in a scientific/technology area of interest.
• Lead major contributions to research outputs including papers, patents and internal/external presentations.
• Support and develop others including day-to-day supervision of students or visitors in areas related to your own research.
