Summary
For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Józef Lewandowski (Professor) j.r.l.lewandowski@warwick.ac.uk
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 carry out laboratory-based research focused on the role played by protein-protein interactions in natural product megasynth(et)ases. Specifically, how recruitment of enoylreductase enzymes contributes to structural diversity of polyketides. 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.
This is a full-time fixed term position, initially for a period of 36 months.
You will be a PhD graduate (or will have submitted your thesis prior to commencing) with up to 3 years postdoctoral research experience in directly relevant fields of research and a strong track record in protein biochemistry and structural biology techniques.
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.
If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure (£34,132). Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first spinal point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£35,116).
