**Overview**

Our international group of highly motivated and interdisciplinary structural biologists is expanding We are looking for a research fellow fascinated by the structural basis of molecular functions. You will study the structure and dynamics of RNA both in isolation and in complex with its cellular partners. The focus will be on understanding how RNA modifications impact its structure, function and interactome, with the aim of establishing new drug targets in cancer and fungal infections. Being this a timely, expanding research area, there is opportunity for methodological developments. We offer unique access to first-class instrumentation for structural biology. At the national centre for biomolecular NMR spectroscopy in Birmingham (HWB-NMR), we host the best biomolecular NMR equipment available in the UK, comprising 1000, 900 and 800 MHz spectrometers equipped with cryoprobes and MAS probes for both solution
- and solid-state NMR, as well as an incoming 1.2 GHz spectrometer expected in 2025. At the Midlands Regional Cryo Electron Microscope Facility in Leicester, you will have access to a 300kV Titan Krios G3 cryo-electron microscope with a direct electron-detecting camera. We have BAG access to the synchrotron at DIAMOND for small angle scattering, X-ray crystallography and many more X-ray based techniques. Fully equipped biochemistry and molecular biology laboratories, as well as extensive equipment for in cellulo work and light microscopy are available. This interdisciplinary research environment will provide you with unique development opportunities.

Our globally-operating research group is embedded in a vibrant community of world-renowned scientists in the fields of genome biology, cancer research and microbiology, as well as RNA engineering. We believe in interdisciplinarity and we strive to integrate structural biology with functional studies in cells and whole organisms, as well as with drug design and molecular engineering.
