Scottish Structural Proteomics Facility (SSPF) - 
University of Dundee, UK.

Five post-doctoral research posts are available within an
internationally recognised centre-of-excellence in biomedical sciences
(http://www.dundee.ac.uk/biocentre/) here in Dundee. These posts are
funded for five years from the BBSRC Structural Proteomics Of Rational
Targets (SPORT) initiative award to the SSPF which has been founded by
the Universities of St. Andrews and Dundee. The scientists who will be
recruited will be expected to form a cohesive team within Dundee and
also with colleagues in other institutes. Each scientist will in
addition be given specific projects for which they are responsible.
These are in the area of structural enzymology and biological chemistry
targeting key metabolic pathways of microorganisms. Applications from
researchers with chemical crystallography experience are particularly
encouraged.

Post 1 - Structure Determination I - LS/349/www
To contribute to protein production, crystallization facility and to
solve new structures.
Requirements: Purification and crystallization experience.
Desired: Structure analysis experience.

Post 2 - Structure Determination II - LS/350/www
To concentrate on new structure determination.
Requirements: Proven record in crystal structure determination.
Desired: Purification and crystallization experience.

Post 3 - Protein Expression - LS/348/www
To develop and exploit novel expression vectors and systems.
Requirements: Molecular and microbiology experience.
Desired: Tissue culture and protein purification experience.

Informal enquiries to Professor Bill Hunter (w.n.hunter...@dundee.ac.uk) or
Dr Charlie Bond (c.s.bond...@dundee.ac.uk). (DO NOT SEND APPLICATIONS TO
THESE E-MAIL ADDRESSES)

Post 4 - Structural Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Research Assistant -

interpretation of structures. Requirements: Programming/analysis within
biological/bioinformatics research. Expert in one or more of:
C/C++/Java, MySQL/PostgreSQL/Oracle, Perl/Python, WebServices/SOAP
(Linux environment). Desired: Publication record in
bionformatics/structural biology.

Post 5 - Bioinformatics Programmer / Structural Biology LIMS Manager -
LS/346/WWW

Responsible for establishing and maintaining a Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS). They will also have a key role in interfacing
the LIMS solution with the structure pipeline software. 
Requirements: Programming expertise in Java/C++ and Perl, standard RDBMS
systems (PostgreSQL/Oracle). 
Desired: Experience of a structural biology or similar research
environment.
