Durham University
Durham University is one of the
world's top universities with strengths across the Arts and
Humanities, Sciences and Social Sciences.
Biosciences is one of the very best
departments in the UK with an outstanding reputation for excellence
in teaching and research. Ranked Top 10 for impact in REF2014, the
department provides a dynamic and interdisciplinary research
environment. The successful candidate will join the Sadanandom
group, which is embedded within Molecular Plant Sciences research
group, a recognised research strength at Durham. The group
interacts closely with members of Durham Centre for Crop
Improvement Technology (DCCIT) (https://www.durham.ac.uk/research/institutes-and-centres/durham-centre-crop-improvement-technology/)
The Role
Applications are invited for a
PostDoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in Plant molecular Biology
with a particular emphasis on Protein Modification systems. The
research project aims to understand how an emerging protein
modification, SUMOylation can be exploited to boost resistance
against multiple environmental stresses. The PDRA must be
experienced in plant biochemistry, in particular in proteomic
methods for peptide and protein analysis including detection of
protein post-translational modifications. The successful applicant
will be expected to use state of the art proteomics to identify
SUMOylated target proteins in Arabidopsis during drought and salt
stresses. The PDRA will validate these targets as controllers of
drought and salt resistance mechanisms in Arabidopsis.
This post is fixed term for 2
years.
Successful applicants will, ideally,
be in post by 1st May 2021
All applicants are asked to submit:
a CV and covering letter whic details your experience, strengths
and potential.
The assessment for the post will
consist of an interview. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for
interview and assessment in due course.
