ABOUT YOU
You will need to have a relevant PhD and demonstrable experience in a discipline relevant to the project of interest (structural biology, biological or pharmaceutical chemistry, protein production, biochemistry and/or cell biology). This should include practical experience and knowledge of applying research skills and techniques to deliver outputs on time and to the required quality, with a track record of publication of high-quality journal papers with at least one original publication in a peer-reviewed journal (including co-author).
The funding for these positions is provided in line with the MSCA mobility rule that the researcher must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the host organisation’s country for more than twelve months in the three years immediately prior to the call deadline.
Within the application, please ensure that you provide a Research Proposal, evidence of your English Proficiency, and two reference letters, alongside your current CV. Once applications have been longlisted, successful applicants will be contacted to provide a 10-minute video around their interest and experience for further shortlisting.
For full details and downloadable templates for application documents, please see the AMBER Applicants Page.
Responsibilities:
We are looking for Postdoctoral Research Associates to join the AMBER consortium (Advanced Multiscale Biological Imaging using European Infrastructures) involving multiple institutions across Europe. This prestigious consortium will support 47 postdoctoral researchers and is co-funded by the European Commission Marie-Sklodowska-Curie-Actions. The formal announcement for this postdoctoral position can be found on the Euraxess Call Page.
The AMBER consortium was created to address frontier bioscience and includes four research centres and three large-scale research infrastructures. The Leicester Institute for Structural and Chemical Biology (LISCB) is proud to be a part of this consortium and will be contributing to collaborative projects on cell imaging, epigenetics and cellular fate, metalloenzyme mechanisms and biocatalysis, enzyme mechanisms and regulatory processes inside the nucleus, and time-resolved imaging of enzymatic mechanisms.
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate, you will drive an interdisciplinary project to provide a more integrated picture of life processes in the context of health & disease. This program provides exceptional research, training, and career opportunities, including a 3-month secondment to be taken in one of the partnering research centres or large-scale research infrastructures.
Candidates can choose between four research projects, each a collaboration between Principal Investigators in the Leicester Institute for Structural and Chemical Biology. For more information on the individual projects, please visit: https://le.ac.uk/research/institutes/structural-chemical-biology/opportunities.
Across the four projects, we are able to offer two Postdoctoral Research Associate positions.
