This post is full time, and has funding for up to 1 year, based in Glasgow, followed by 2 years in Helsinki.
The School of Infection & Immunity is looking to recruit a Research Associate to carry out cutting-edge research to understand the structure and function of complexes essential for organelle biology and function in the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum, the major cause of malaria mortality, and Toxoplasma gondii, the cause of toxoplasmosis and a leading model organism for the phylum. The first core approach will be to carry out high-volume parasite culturing and complex biochemical approaches for organelle and protein isolation.
The second and main core approach will be collection and analysis of structural data, primarily via single-particle cryoEM analysis.
Your primary focus will be on carrying out outstanding academic research leading to impactful publications, providing substantial scope for innovation, creativity and scientific judgement. You will work as part of two highly collaborative teams, and particularly closely with another team member carrying out synergistic genetic engineering and biochemical work on the same topic, so collaboration, communication and collegiality are key attributes.
Informal enquiries about the role are welcomed, and should be addressed to Professor Lilach Sheiner (Lilach.Sheiner@glasgow.ac.uk) in the first instance.
