Research Fellow (Molecular Biology/Biochemistry and Structural Biology) Full-time

Ntu Institute Of Structure Biology (Nisb)

Nisb provides a complete pipeline for structural biology to accelerate discovery in basic and applied bioscience.

At nisb, we aim to integrate a comprehensive set of structural biology tools to address fundamental questions in biology, to understand human diseases and to accelerate structure-based drug discovery. we have the expertise and equipment to bring your gene of interest from plasmid to atomic level structure using a series of state-of-the art platforms for protein expression, biophysical characterization and imaging using cryo-em, tomography or x-ray crystallography.

we are looking for a research fellow to run the nisb protein expression platform. the successful candidate will also be given time to develop his/her own research program in the field of structural biology commensurate with the institute interests in protein structure and engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

• interacting with the various academic and industry users of nisb facilities to define their needs and to help design and perform the protein expression together with the core nisb team
• closely interacting with the nisb core team to ensure timely delivery of quality protein samples and deliverables (overexpressed protein with proper protocol and documentation)
• together with the core team, ensure adequate reporting and documentation of the tasks commissioned by the academia and industry users
• in-house research and platform technological development

Job Requirement:
