Postdoctoral Scientist Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scientist to join our team at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge, UK. The successful candidate will have expertise in cryoEM and/or protein biochemistry and will be responsible for expressing, purifying phosphatases and kinases and solving their structures using a combination of approaches primarily cryoEM and/or crystallography.

The position is part of Dr Anne Bertolotti's pioneering research programme, which focuses on innovative approaches to boost stress signaling pathways to increase cellular resilience and protect from diverse diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases.

As a Postdoctoral Scientist, you will join a strong inter-disciplinary team at the LMB, which has broad expertise extending from biochemistry, structural, chemical, molecular and cell biology through to transgenic animal models of degenerative diseases. The team also has an excellent record of innovative basic research leading to applications in medicine.

We are looking for an ambitious, creative and fearless individual who is able to invent new approaches to explore the unknown. You will have a PhD in biochemistry or structural biology or due to complete doctoral studies within 6 months of applying. Relevant experience is required, and this must be best attested by at least one impactful and original publication.

This is a three-year training and development position suitable for you if you have recently completed your doctoral studies, or you are looking to move into a new research discipline and/or need to further develop your research skills. Working with our world-class scientists, you will be working in an Institute renowned for its excellent scientific facilities and high-quality research.

The LMB has an inclusive and collaborative working culture, and you will be based in our state-of-the-art building on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. You will be able to access our range of excellent benefits including a staff restaurant with roof terrace, on-site nursery, sports and social facilities, and a generous employee discount scheme. We are committed to providing training and development opportunities including support towards role-related qualifications.

This role qualifies for endorsement by UKRI for a UK Global Talent Visa, for which the successful applicant is likely to be eligible to apply. Immigration costs (visa and health surcharge) can be reclaimed from UKRI after taking up the post (terms and conditions apply).

We actively support equality, diversity and inclusion in all our activities, processes and culture. We are a disability inclusive employer and encourage disabled people to apply for this role.
