Division of Investigative Science
Faculty of Medicine
Salary Range: £25,310 - £29,690 per annum
We are seeking a highly-motivated post-doctoral scientist to work within Dr Vladimir Pelicic's group at the South Kensington campus. The group is part of the Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection (CMMI) and studies type IV pili (Tfp), one of the most widespread virulence factors in the bacterial world.
We use the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis as a model organism to study Tfp and a multi-disciplinary approach combining molecular genetics, functional genomics, protein biochemistry and structural biology. Our intention is that by understanding the molecular basis for Tfp biogenesis and functions, it will be possible to rationally design approaches to prevent and control important infectious diseases.
The post starts on 1 January 2009 and is full-time fixed-term for 18 months. It is funded by the Meningitis Research Foundation to determine whether minor components of meningococcal pili, which we identified recently, could represent novel antigens for inclusion in a vaccine providing universal protection against N. meningitidis.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in molecular microbiology or biochemistry, experience in molecular microbiology and protein biochemistry, and a proven track record of publication in peer reviewed international journals.
For any further information, please contact Dr. Vladimir Pelicic at v.pelicic@imperial.ac.uk or refer to the group's webpage at http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/cmmi/research/vladimirpelicic.

Computational Chemistry and Biology Opportunities
Extraordinarily gifted computational chemists, biologists, and other computational scientists are sought to join the Hyderabad office of a New York–based research group that is pursuing an ambitious, long-term strategy aimed in part at fundamentally transforming the process of drug discovery.
Candidates should have world-class credentials in computational chemistry, biology, or physics, or in a relevant area of computer science or applied mathematics, and must have unusually strong research skills. Relevant areas of experience might include protein structure prediction, the computation of protein-ligand binding affinities, the study of biologically important systems using molecular dynamics and/or Monte Carlo simulation, and the application of statistical mechanics to biomolecular systems—but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than exceptional intellectual ability and a demonstrated track record of achievement. Current areas of interest within the group include molecular dynamics simulation of functionally significant globular and membrane proteins, the prediction of protein structures and binding free energies, structure- and ligand-based drug design, characterization of protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid and protein-lipid interactions, and the development of algorithms for biomolecular simulations.
We are eager to add both senior- and junior-level members to our world-class team, and are prepared to offer above-market compensation to candidates of truly exceptional ability.
Please send your curriculum vitae (including list of publications, thesis topic, and advisor, if applicable) to natureindiajobs-indchem@career.DEShawResearch.com.
D. E. Shaw Research does not discriminate in employment matters on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or any other protected class.
