Applications are invited for a postdoctoral (research associate) position (18-months in the first instance) in the laboratory of Dr Paul Miller at the Department of
+Pharmacology, University of Cambridge, beginning from 1st November 2020.
The project will focus on studying the molecular basis of antibody interactions with membrane proteins involved in blood brain barrier transcytosis. This field of
+research is vital for the establishment of therapeutic antibody delivery to the central nervous system to treat neurological disorders. This is a great opportunity
+to nurture skills in cryo-EM and/or X-ray crystallography and execute structure-guided antibody engineering, ideal for follow-on academic and biotechnology
+careers. The lab utilises automated crystallisation robotics and imaging, and new Arctica and Krios microscopes with Falcon 3/K2/K3 direct detectors. More
+information about the laboratory is available at https://www.phar.cam.ac.uk/research/miller.
The applicant will hold a PhD with a solid background in structural biology/biophysics/biochemistry. Advantageous experience includes: protein engineering,
+production and purification; crystallisation and/or cryo-EM and data processing; phage or yeast display platforms; handling membrane proteins. You must be a
+careful and methodical worker, paying attention to accuracy and ready to take responsibility as part of a team and willing to work in a collaborative environment.
+You should be self-motivated and able to organise, perform and analyse experiments with minimal instruction.
