Postdoctoral Fellow in Phage-Derived Endolysins
A Marsden-funded research programme investigates the molecular mechanisms by which a new phage-derived enzyme (an endolysin) interacts with and crosses Gram-negative bacterial membranes. Utilize biophysical, structural, and computational tools to elucidate these interactions and engineer novel antimicrobial enzymes.
The Biomolecular Interaction Centre, University of Canterbury, seeks applicants with a PhD in biochemistry, structural biology, molecular biology, or a related field. The candidate is expected to have strong experience in protein expression, purification, and characterisation, familiarity with membrane protein biophysics, liposome assays, or NMR spectroscopy.
The candidate should have experience with molecular dynamics simulations or computational modelling phage biology, clinical microbiology or antimicrobial protein design o Interest in translational research and antimicrobial resistance. The candidate will have access to world-class facilities (NMR, crystallography, microbiology, and computational biology) located at UC, PHF Science, and University of Auckland.
