The Role

The Faculty of Health and Life Sciences wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support the work of Dr Johannes G. M. Rack. The successful applicant will assist in the charaterisation of enzymes involved in ADP-ribosylation signalling in the DNA damage response of Aspergillus fumigatus.

The post will include larg scale protein purification for protein crystallisation and their charaterisation with respect to activity (enzymatic assays, mutagenesis, inhibitor tests, etc.) and biophysical properties (incl. determination of binding and kinetic parameters). Knowledge of ADP-ribosylation related enzymes and how they can be expressed and charterised is essential. Moreover, the project involves extraction and charaterisation of proteins from Aspergillus fumigatus (IP/Co-IP) and requiers expertise in Aspergillus fumigatus culture and maintance. Knowledge of proteomic and IP techniques is advantagous.

About You

The successful applicant will be able to present information on research progress and outcomes, communicate complex information, orally, in writing and electronically and prepare proposals and applications to external bodies.

Applicants will possess a relevant PhD (or nearing completion) or possess an equivalent qualification/experience in a related field of study and be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the discipline and of research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes. Applicants will be able to demonstrate practical experience with the charaterisation of ADP-ribosylation signalling related enzymes including protein expression and structure determination, application of biochemical and biophysical methodologies as well as a understanding of fungal DNA damage response and the role of ADP-ribosylation siganlling therein.
