Description

Fixed-term, 3 years

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Scientist position in the laboratory of Dr Ramanujan Hegde at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB). The role is to work within a programme aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of protein maturation, quality control, and protein misfolding diseases.

You should have a PhD in a subject relevant to the envisioned project such as cell biology, particularly in the area of protein translation, maturation, quality control, and stress responses, or be due to complete a PhD within 6 months. An essential skill for this project would be a high level of proficiency in ability to work with proteins. Experience of having worked with cell-based experimental systems, including mammalian cultured cells is a requirement as is a deep knowledge of protein biogenesis, quality control, and stress responses. Other experience that would be useful for the envisioned project is in core methods of cell biology and biochemistry including: microscopy, protein analysis, biochemical assays of protein modification, protein purification, mass spectrometry, molecular biology and with in vitro reconstitution methods.
