Parkville, Australia Monash University. Full time

The Opportunity

The position is a 2-year position to support the development and application of cryo-EM to structure assisted drug discovery programs. 

As the successful candidate you will be responsible for optimisation of challenging GPCR biochemical samples for cryo-EM structure determination and/or biophysical and biochemical study of GPCR function. You will contribute to the determination of the structure of GPCRs to drive structure activity programs and for structure assist drug design. You will work within a broader team integrating membrane protein biochemistry, high-resolution cryo-EM structure determination, computational chemistry, molecular and analytical pharmacology and medicinal chemistry to understand and modulate GPCR function.

Applicants will need to hold a PhD in an appropriate discipline and experience in membrane protein biochemistry, preferably with additional specific expertise in structural characterisation of membrane proteins by cryo-EM. Prior experience working with GPCRs would be desirable. You will be able to work both independently and seamlessly within a larger team environment, including application of highly developed technical skills, and rapid ability to learn new techniques.
