We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the research Group of Professor Jonathan Grimes, located in Division for Structural Biology, at the Nuffield Department of Medicine. You will join a team of scientists aiming to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Influenza virus replication through using a combination of structural and molecular biology.

You will be responsible for managing your own academic research activities, which involves small scale project management to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work and meet deadlines. You will adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and experimental protocols, and test hypotheses and analyse scientific data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining working hypotheses as appropriate. You will contribute ideas for new research projects, and contribute to the presentation of scientific results through journal articles, posters and oral presentations at national/international conferences.

It is essential that you hold a PhD (or close to completion) in structural biology, biochemistry, virology or a related field. It is essential that you have research experience in at least one of the following areas: production of proteins for structure/function studies or crystallization and X-ray crystallography and analysis of viruses or viral proteins. You will have experience with multiple biophysical and cell-based assays, to validate structural information and an excellent publication record, in leading refereed international journals. Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, including the ability to present work at international symposia and to non-specialist audiences is essential for the role.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.
