DIAMOND LIGHT SOURCE

FIXED TERM (1 yr)

Salary £29,099-£35,788

=======================================================================================

               Applications are invited for this joint post between the Department of Physics and the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, and Diamond Light Source Ltd (the UK national synchrotron science facility situated at Harwell in Oxfordshire).  The post holder will be based at Diamond, with work being directed by Dr's Neil Hunt, Nicholas Tucker, Paul Hoskisson at Strathclyde and Martin Walsh at Diamond.

               The appointment is initially for one year. The aim of the project is to combine X-ray crystallography, time resolved 2D-IR spectroscopy and biochemical techniques to study the structure and function of the E coli Hmp NO dioxygenase enzyme system and to work towards integration of ultrafast spectroscopy with the Diamond MX beamlines for future exploitation in biological research. The project will involve elements of biochemistry, structural biology and infrared spectroscopy, including time resolved and multidimensional methods. Expertise in all areas is not required though a strong background in structural biology, protein biochemistry, biophysics, infrared spectroscopy or time resolved/ultrafast spectroscopy would be advantageous.

               The successful candidate will join ongoing collaborative projects in place between Strathclyde, DLS and the Research Complex at Harwell (http://www.rc-harwell.ac.uk) that aim to investigate the mechanisms of protein systems from a multidisciplinary perspective. Regular interactions with Strathclyde and the Research Complex are envisaged. As such the project will suit an ambitious and motivated candidate with a strong commitment to multidisciplinary research.

               For informal enquiries please contact martin.walsh@diamond.ac.uk, neil.hunt@strath.ac.uk, nick.tucker@strath.ac.uk or paul.hoskisson@strath.ac.uk.
