Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Cardiovascular Medicine

6 days ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist with expertise and interest in Biochemistry to join the University of Oxford as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Cardiovascular Medicine. You will closely collaborate with other laboratory members involved in cell biological approaches, facilitating an integrative research environment.

The overarching goal of the project is to gain an understanding of fundamental mechanisms of protein synthesis from both a biochemical and biophysical perspective. The project will investigate how the protein translation and cytoskeletal machineries interact.

We use a multi-disciplinary approach that includes expertise and collaborations in enzymology, biochemistry, structural biology, and cell biology, and employ a combination of in vitro and ex vivo approaches. The University of Oxford has access to a range of state-of-the-art facilities and technologies within the Centre for Human Genetics.

You are required to hold a PhD/DPhil in a relevant discipline and will carry out independent research exploring fundamental mechanisms of key cellular functions from both a biophysical and biochemical perspective. You will also have proven experience in recombinant protein purification from both bacterial and eukaryotic protein expression systems, a familiarity with basic enzymology, and experience in the characterization of individual proteins and/or protein-protein interactions.

Previous experience/familiarity with in vitro RNA preparative techniques and assays would be desirable.

This is a full-time appointment on a fixed-term contract for 1 year (with the possibility of extending for a further 2 years). You will be based at the Centre for Human Genetics, Old Road Campus, Oxford.
