    We are excited to announce an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work at Birkbeck, University of London, on research into the mechanisms of regulation of the cytoskeleton and the molecular basis of human disease.

    • A PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant subject area such as structural biology or cellular neuroscience.
    • A strong background in structural biology, biochemistry or bioimaging.
    • Experience of utilising research methods and techniques particularly in structural biology.
    • Ability to work independently but also to co-operate and interact with other group members and outside collaborators.

    You'll be working on regulatory mechanisms of cytoskeleton dynamics within the team led by Prof Carolyn Moores (Professor Carolyn Moores - School of Natural Sciences ), and will interact with members of the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology (ISMB) and users of the Electron Microscopy Facility ).

    The research programme also involves collaboration with several international teams and is funded by the UKRI Medical Research Council.
