We are recruiting for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Structural Biology at Imperial College London.
About the role
The Bubeck laboratory (https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/d.bubeck) in the Department of Life Sciences (https://www.imperial.ac.uk/life-sciences), Imperial College London, is looking to recruit a Research Associate with high level of expertise in protein biochemistry
and structural biology. Additional expertise in microbiology is very suited for the position. This post, funded by the BBSRC, aims to uncover how Bacteroides strains antagonize competitors to compete in the intestinal microbiome. The project’s primary objective
is to discover 1) the molecular mechanism of target specificity and 2) how pore forming effectors kill susceptible strains.

You will join an exciting interdisciplinary team of structural biologists, membrane biophysicists and microbiologists to tackle longstanding question in integrative microbiome research. The project focuses on cryo electron microscopy-based studies of B. fragilis
effectors within the context of a series of model membrane systems. The research builds on the lab’s strong track-record in structural biology of pore-forming proteins and is closely linked with research activities of Ravinash Krishna Kumar at Imperial College
London.
