SCRI is an international research centre based in Scotland. The work we do is at the top of the global agenda. We focus on crop and food research and the relationship between the environment, plants and the land. In addition to research, we create innovation and enterprise leading to wealth creation and environmental sustainability for the Scottish economy.
Lectureship: 'Structure and Function of Biomolecular Complexes in Virus Disease'
We are seeking to appoint an outstanding protein biochemist to enhance ongoing research on structural biology and molecular virology of RNA viruses. The work will integrate studies within the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI) and the University of St Andrews. The post holder is expected to develop a collaborative programme of research on the structure and function of biomolecular complexes in virus disease.
This post is a key part of a new initiative between SCRI, a foremost UK institute for plant and environmental sciences, with international leaders in plant virus research, and the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences (CBMS), University of St Andrews, which has an international reputation in cell and molecular studies of infection and immunity.
The aim of the initiative is to link the complementary research strengths in structural biology, virology and protein chemistry to provide a new focus for the investigation of macromolecular complexes in virus diseases.
Informal enquiries can be made by email to Professor Jim Naismith or Dr Lesley Torrance (tel: +44(0) 1382 568525).
