**The Opportunity**

The Neuromedicines Discovery Centre (NDC) is focused on research into mental health conditions to bring hope to those for whom current treatments are ineffective. The NDC offers end-to-end capability from bench to bedside and into the community.

We are currently seeking to recruit a Research Fellow in Structural Biology for a 12-month fixed-term position.

This role will form a key part of the Molecular and Translational Drug Discovery lab in the Neuromedicines Discovery Centre. You will perform a range of research activities to support the delivery of outcomes for a major partnership between the Neuromedicines Discovery Centre and a Melbourne-based biotech start-up venture working on next-generation mental health medicines discovery targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

To be successful in this role, you will have a doctoral qualification (and/or similar industry experience) specialising in cryo-EM structural biology or a closely related field. You will also have demonstrated experience in high-resolution cryo-EM structure determination, including data processing and modelling. Expertise in membrane protein biochemistry, and/or biophysical or biochemical study of membrane proteins (particularly GPCRs) is highly desirable.
