[Neutron] Postdoctoral Fellowship available in Structural Biology in Sydney, Australia [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[ROBINSON, Robert]

Postdoctoral Fellowship - Structural Biology 
2-year terms + possible 1 year extension
Salary range: A$69441 (plus 15.4%superannuation)
 
ANSTO is one of Australia's foremost scientific research and development
organisations, focused on delivering the benefits of nuclear science to
the Australian community.
 
We are looking for recent PhD graduates to work on a research project
within our research portfolio.
 
We are seeking a candidate with a strong innovation focus, good
communication skills and a proven publication record, as well as
experience and skills specific to the proposed research project.  PhDs
must have been awarded within the last three years or be under
examination.
 
Working closely with Prof Jill Trewhella, jointly between ANSTO and
Sydney University, this fellowship aims to advance neutron and x-ray
scattering applications in structural biology.  A major scientific focus
will be to understand the structural basis for biochemical regulation
and signalling between bio-molecules that play key roles in disease such
as HIV infection, cardiomyopathies, and bacterial pathogenesis.  A key
approach will be to combine neutron contrast variation and x-ray
solution scattering data with data from other techniques such as
crystallography, NMR, electron microscopy, and molecular dynamics to
develop experimentally validated structural models that provide the
foundation for understanding biological function.  The work is
multi-disciplinary in nature, involving biophysical characterisation
techniques, structural biology, and structural modelling.  
 
Practical experience in neutron and/or x-ray scattering including data
analysis is essential.  
 
Practical experience in structural biology and/or computational modeling
of biological structures is desirable. 
 
For further information contact Prof Trewhella - jtrewhella at usyd.edu.au,
or Dr William Hamilton - William.hamilton at ansto.gov.au
 
To be eligible for appointment, applicants will require a security and
medical assessment.
