There is a vacancy for a 4 year BBSRC funded Post-doctoral Research Assistant at the School of Biochemistry, University of Bristol (starting salary, depend on experience: £ 29972 – 33734). It will involve an experimental analysis of protein translocation through the ubiquitous SecY complex. The prospective researcher will undertake an independent research project designed to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying protein translocation driven through the protein channel complex SecYEG by the motor ATPase SecA and the proton motive force. There may also be the opportunity to investigate the mechanism of membrane protein insertion through the newly available holo-translocon. This super-complex contains the machinery responsible for both protein secretion and membrane insertion, and therefore presents us with several new exciting possibilities. The project will employ a range of biochemical and biophysical methods to characterise the activity and dynamics of the machinery to advance our general understanding of energy transduction and transport. Therefore, this would be an excellent opportunity to publish 2 or 3 papers and potentially move onto an independent research career.
Evolution of leaf development at the Univ. of Oxford Applications are invited for a three-year postdoctoral position on the project "Pathways that limit leaflet formation in Cardamine hirsuta", led by Professor Miltos Tsiantis. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will start in December 2011. The aim of the project is to understand the genetic networks that control the number, timing and position of leaflet development in C. hirsuta; a genetically tractable compound leafed relative of the simple leafed reference plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The project builds on previous research by the group (Hay & Tsiantis, Nature Genetics 38, 942-7; Barkoulas, et al. Nature Genetics 40, 1136 - 41; Piazza, et al., Current Biology 20, 2223-2228; Bilsborough, et al. PNAS 108, 3424-3429) and would suit highly motivated applicants with excellent developmental genetics skills, an interest in the genetics of morphological diversity and the inclination to work in a highly collaborative laboratory environment.
