招聘简介：

我们正在寻找一个有动机和创造性的博士后研究助理来阐明微管细胞骨架建立和维持神经元组织和功能的分子机制。这项工作由英国医学研究委员会资助，并将作为卡罗琳·摩尔教授领导的研究团队的一部分进行。你将参与分子和细胞结构的确定微管为基础的机械使用低温电子显微镜和低温电子断层扫描。这项工作为深入了解微管细胞骨架的调节机制和剖析人类疾病的分子基础提供了独特的机会。你将成为一个致力于细胞骨架动力学调控机制的团队的成员（卡罗琳·摩尔教授-生物科学系），并将与结构与分子生物学研究所（ISMB）电子显微镜小组（www.ismb.lon.ac.uk/电子显微镜）的成员互动。研究计划还涉及与几个国际小组的合作。

申请人应具有结构生物学、生物化学或相关领域的博士学位，并有相关的研究出版物。

英文原文：

We are seeking a motivated and creative Postdoctoral Research Assistant to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which the microtubule cytoskeleton sets up and maintains neuronal organisation and function. This work is funded by the Medical Research Council, UK, and will be undertaken as part of the research team led by Prof Carolyn Moores. You will be involved in both molecular and cellular structure determination of microtubule-based machinery using cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography. This work presents unique opportunities to gain insight into mechanisms of regulation of the microtubule cytoskeleton and to dissect the molecular basis of human disease. You will be a member of a team working on regulatory mechanisms of cytoskeleton dynamics (Professor Carolyn Moores -Department of Biological Sciences) and will interact with members of the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology (ISMB) Electron Microscopy group (www.ismb.lon.ac.uk/electron-microscopy). The programme of research also involves collaboration with several international teams.

Applicants should have a PhD in structural biology, biochemistry or a related area, and have relevant research publications.

Remuneration

Grade 7 of the College's London Pay Scale which is £37,912 rising to £43,333 per annum.

The salary quoted is on the College's London Pay Scale which includes a consolidated Weighting/Allowance which applies only to staff whose normal contractual place of work is in the Greater London area.
