We are looking for a molecular biologist, biochemist, analytical scientist, or chemist who is self-motivated, highly organised and works as part of a team. The project involves the development of HDX-MS strategies to study the eukaryotic purine transporter UapA in native-like environments. In particular, the project will combine hydrogen deuterium exchanger mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) approaches with lipid nanodiscs and biochemical strategies to interrogate the mechanistic details of UapA transporter.

Essential skills and duties include:

  • Extensive and up-to-date theoretical and practical knowledge in working with membrane proteins.
  • Excellent technical skills in protein expression and purification.
  • Extensive experience in working with proteins (preferably membrane proteins and lipids) and developing related methods (e.g. biophysical or biochemical).
  • Desirable but not essential skills include knowledge of HDX-MS or related structural mass spectrometry techniques.
    • Working with other laboratory members to develop methods and maintain equipment.
    • Writing high-quality research papers.

The contract is offered for 19 months.
