You will join a
productive, collaborative research group in the new Biomedical Sciences
Research Complex at the University of St. Andrews. You will study the
interaction of a major bacterial virulence protein with human collagen-derived
peptides, using solution state NMR spectroscopy, microcalorimetry and
Xray-crystallography. This research will contribute to the development of
urgently required new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of infections
caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, one of the top ten most deadly human
pathogens. This project aims to determine the molecular basis for the induction
of anti-collagen antibodies in streptococcal autoimmune sequelae.

You will have a strong background in molecular biology, protein biochemistry
and structural biology. You should be proficient in molecular biology and
protein expression. Experience with either biomolecular NMR, Xray
crystallography or other biophysical techniques is desirable.
