You will carry out laboratory-based research focused on the role played by protein-protein interactions in natural product megasynth(et)ases.

This work will be carried out under the supervision of Prof. Józef Lewandowski, Prof Greg Challis, Dr Lona Alkhalaf and Dr Mathew Jenner as part of a BBSRC funded project.

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.

You will be a PhD graduate (or will have submitted your thesis prior to commencing) with proven postdoctoral research experience in directly relevant fields of research and a strong track record in the application of NMR spectroscopy to structural biology.

You will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team of researchers. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills. You will assist in the supervision of research students, in addition to ensuring your own research objectives are achieved effectively. You will prepare monthly presentations and regular written reports detailing your research progress and will participate in the preparation of research papers and progress reports. You will present your research results at regular progress meetings involving collaborators, as well as at national and international conferences.

This is a full-time fixed term position, initially for a period of 36 months.
