A postdoctoral scientist position is available in Dr. Steve Gamblin’s laboratory at the MRC National Institute of Medical Research in London, UK. Our team investigates the molecular mechanisms of multi-protein complexes that underpin physiological epigenetic regulation and misregulation in cancer. You will have the opportunity to learn and apply a range of techniques in protein chemistry, biophysics and structural biology (principally X-Ray crystallography).

You should have a PhD or be in the final stages of obtaining a PhD degree in Structural Biology or a related discipline. A background in recombinant protein expression in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic host organisms and basic skills in molecular biology, protein purification are required. In addition a basic knowledge of general structural biology techniques, enzymology and biophysics are essential. Experience in epigenetics would be a significant advantage.
