job description

Salary range £28,563 to £35,795 pa dependent on experience.

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a world leader in the use of large-scale sequencing, informatics and analysis of genetic variation. We use sequence data to further our understanding of infectious disease and generate resources of lasting value to biomedical research.

By developing high throughput technologies to detect extracellular protein interactions, the cell surface signalling laboratory has identified novel extracellular receptor-ligand interactions involved in infectious diseases such as malaria (see Nature v480 p534). The project will involve screening for novel host-pathogen receptor-ligand interactions using a library of recombinant proteins. The protein libraries will also be used to determine the functional consequences of the identified interactions in cell-based

Essential Skills
We are looking for highly motivated postdoctoral candidates who have experience in mammalian expression systems, recombinant protein purification and high throughput assays.

PhD in a relevant subject area

Previous knowledge and skill in molecular biology techniques: PCR, restriction enzyme cloning, plasmids preps

Knowledge and initiative required to drive forward and develop new areas of research within the group

Excellent communication skills to allow presentation of relatively complex data in simple terms and explain these to others less experienced
