Vacancies

Postdoctoral research assistant (2 posts)

The Carvalho Lab is recruiting postdoctoral researchers to investigate the mechanisms of protein degradation using cell biology, biochemistry and structural biology approaches.

You will join a diverse group of researchers working on several aspects of organelle biology at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford (UK).

The main goals of these positions are: 1) to uncover how membrane proteins are degraded by a process called ERAD; 2) to reveal how ERAD of specific substrates regulates diverse physiological processes such as nuclear envelope dynamics, lipid homeostasis or antigen presentation.

You will be a self-motivated and enthusiastic scientist with a PhD (or be close to completion of PhD) in a relevant field, with a strong background in cell biology, biochemistry or structural biology. We are looking for a scientist aiming to work as part of a friendly and supportive team, and with a clear career goal.

The posts are full-time and funded for up to 3 years in the first instance. For further information please contact Pedro Carvalho (pedro.carvalho@path.ox.ac.uk) or visit the group’s website.
