A postdoctoral position is available from April 1, 2010 in the University of Oxford’s Department of Biochemistry to study the structure, function, and small-molecule antagonism of ion channels that are of high medical relevance. The candidate will join the laboratory of Dr. Jason Schnell, and be responsible for the development and structural analysis of ion channel systems by high-resolution solution NMR. The main approach will be to use the tools of biophysics (e.g. NMR, fluorescence, and ultracentrifugation) and molecular biology in combination with functional assays (e.g. liposomal ion flux assays) to elucidate the molecular details of activity.
