Description

Two post-doctoral research associates, funded by an EU FP7 Programme,are available immediately for 3 years to work on structure/function ofthe polypeptide growth factor HGF/SF and its receptor MET and thedevelopment of MET therapeutics (see Nat Mol Cell Biol 4:915-25, 2003for an overview of the signalling system and its relevance to cancer therapy).

SFMET1 and SFMET2: These post-doctoral research associate positions arefor protein crystallographers to work on: – the crystallisation andstructure solution of fragments of HGF/SF with antagonistic activity incomplex with MET (SFMET1) and, – crystallisation and structure solutionof HGF/SF-MET complexes (SFMET2) (see PNAS 103:4046-4051, 2006 for adescription of the complexes under study). A strong background proteincrystallography is essential for these positions. Experience withprotein expression and purification and/or site-directed mutagenesis isalso expected.

SFMET3: This research assistant position is for three years and is for abacterial/phage geneticist to work on affinity maturation of fragmentsof HGF/SF with antagonistic activity (PNAS 104:14592-7, 2007 and JMB377:616-22, 2008). The work will involve phage display, mutagenesis andselection of phage variants and their physico-chemical and biological
characterisation.

SFMET4: This is a research assistant position for 12 months in the firstinstance for a biophysicist working on the interaction between smallmolecules and the MET ectodomain. A background and previous experiencein physical chemistry is essential and is expected to cover isothermalcalorimetry, mass spectrometry and surface plasmon resonance.
