Please could you post the following Job Avertisement on Glycosciences
bulletin board.
Research Positions available
Glycoprotein Structure/Function Group
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
University College London
The laboratory of Dr. Elizabeth Hounsell has several vacancies at
postgraduate and postdoctoral level with promised funding variously from the
MRC, the University of London and Industry. The research is at the leading
edge in macromolecular structural studies of glycoproteins, glycopeptides
and oligosaccharides and has at its aim the manipulation of glycosylated
molecules to improve the immune surveillance of tumour cells and
microorganisms and, on the other hand, to ameliorate the immune- and neuro-
pathology occurring in AIDS, arthritis and prion diseases. The techniques
used to study the structure/function relationships involved are computer
graphics molecular modeling incorporating data from NMR spectroscopy,
together with HPLC, GC and MS analysis and chromatographic purification. In
addition we have access to X-ray crystallographic expertise. It is
envisaged that we will employ a postgraduate student for a PhD project from
October 1995 and before then two one year postdoctoral fellow and a
permanent graduate research assistantship. Applicants with any research
experience in carbohydrate biochemistry, chemistry or physicochemistry are
requested to apply to Dr. Hounsell at the above address, or ....
