A Postdoctoral Research Assistantship is available to work on
structural studies of membrane, peptides and drugs in using
neutron diffraction, NMR and computer simulation in the
Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford (UK).
This post is a fixed-term position of three years.<br>
<br>
This multi-technique based project is suitable for an
enthusiastic researcher interested in applying experimental and
computational techniques to understand how peptide, proteins and
lipids interact with water and other small molecule such as
drugs and toxins in solution. The successful applicant to this
post will be based in the Department of Biochemistry at the
University of Oxford and will work under the supervision of Dr.
Sylvia McLain and will perform experiments at the ISIS Neutron
and Muon Source (STFC, UK). Applicants should possess a
doctorate in physics, chemistry or related field. Previous
experience in neutron scattering, particularly in diffraction
techniques, or computer simulations will be at an advantage.
Applicants should ideally but not necessarily have 1 to 2 years
of postdoctoral experience. <br>
<br>
Formal applications for this PDRA position should be made
through the Oxford Biochemistry website -

<br>
A related 3-year EPSRC PhD studentship is also available in the
same group starting in October 2013 for investigations using
neutron diffraction, NMR and computation to investigate the
specific interactions between water, peptides and lipids of the
membrane bilayer with a view towards understanding their role in
biomolecular structure and function. The successful candidate
should have an undergraduate degree in biochemistry, physics,
chemistry or a related field. Further information can be found
and applications for studentship can be submitted via
