A Postdoctoral Research Assistant position
is available at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to work with Professor Richard Pickersgill, Dr Vidya Darbari, and Dr Arianna Fornili in collaboration with Dr Vladimir Shevchik (University of Lyon) on the structure of the type II secretion system assembly
platform. The post-holder will be funded by BBSRC on a project entitled “Structure of the assembly platform of the bacterial type II secretion system”.
The post-holder will conduct research to understand the molecular organisation and structure
of the assembly platform of the type II secretion system. The project involves producing inner membrane assembly complexes and determining their structures using cryo-electron microscopy. Key techniques will include molecular biology, biochemistry, and cryo-electron
microscopy. Prior experience in as many of these techniques as possible is desirable. The post-holder will join a multidisciplinary team with frequent interactions.
The start date is July 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. The post is full-time and
available until July 2025.
