POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITY IN PROTEIN ENGINEERING Postdoctoral Fellow required for site-directed mutagenesis work on complement anaphylatoxins. Opportunity to join a project on the structure and function of a small protein using molecular modelling to design mutants that can be tested for biological activity and for solution conformation. Further details from Professor John Fothergill, Department of Biochemistry, University of Aberdeen. ( J.Fothergill @ UK.AC.ABDN) (Enjoy living in one of Britain's most agreeable environments!)

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE SCHOOL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY A post-doctoral research assistant is required to study the factors which regulate the proliferation of human endometrium. The successful applicant will apply the technique of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to demonstrate expression of growth factors and their receptors from small numbers of human endometrial cells. Development of RT-PCR to quantify expression of growth factors will be undertaken. In the second part of the project, transmembrane processing of the growth factors will be studied and their effect on proliferation of human endometrial cells will be determined. This work will be undertaken in collaboration with the M.R.C. Molecular Genetics Unit and is funded by a grant from Birthright for two years in the first instance, to investigate basic mechanisms of menstrual dysfunction. Stipend will be on the academic scale #10,460-#12,760 depending upon age and qualification. Applications in writing to include the names of two referees together with a full CV to: Mr R.C. Smith, Principal Assistant, Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Level 2, The Rosie Maternity Hospital, Robinson Way, Cambridge, CB2 2SW. Further informtion from DSC Jones (SJ@UK.AC.CAM.MRC-LMB)

I am a crystallographer by training. I worked on the crystallographic problems of viruses, proteins and also small molecules. I am particularly interested in the computational aspects with interests in molecular replace- ment, noncrystallographic symmetry and phase problem. I am also interested in the areas of protein structure predictions, molecular evolution, structural similarities and the like. I like developing new algorithms and software for my research in ForTran. I will be most useful in a large environment where scientists with different backgrounds coexist. My research experience goes back to several years reflected by a number of publications. Senior to middle level positions will be most suitable for my training and background. Discussions are most welcome and kind regards in the interim. - J. K. Mohana Rao (Rao@NCIFCRF.Gov)
