The appointment will be on UCL Grade 7. The salary range will be £34,635 – £41,864 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance.
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions to work on a research programme funded by the Medical Research Council. The project involves elucidation of the resistance of Gram-negative pathogens to the complement system and will involve the molecular, biochemical, biophysical and topographical characterisation of bacterial surfaces. One post will be based at UCL School of Pharmacy under the supervision of Professor Peter Taylor and the other in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford under Professor Colin Kleanthous, although we anticipate a high degree of collaboration, interchange and interaction between the two posts during the course of the project.
The posts are available for three years in the first instance.
Candidates will have (or about to be awarded) a PhD (or equivalent) in microbiology, biochemistry or a related area and have experience of bacteriological and molecular techniques, protein biochemistry and microscopy. Experience of the development and use of in vivo models of bacterial infection is desirable. Candidates must be able to work independently and as part of a team and will be able to represent the research groups at external meetings and seminars.
