    UNIVERSITY  OF  SURREY
  DEPARTMENTS  OF  BIOCHEMISTRY  AND  MICROBIOLOGY
  POST-DOCTORAL  RESEARCH  FELLOW
MOLECULAR ENZYME REGULATION
We are looking for a post-doc with experience in molecular enzymology
and/or gene cloning for a project involving the human gene for
serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SH). We have identified SH as a
strategic target for anti-cancer chemotherapy (Snell et al, Br.
J. Cancer 57: 87-90, 1988). The project will involve the isolation
and expression of the human SH gene and site-directed
mutagenesis to characterise  novel inhibitor-binding interactions.
    Further details may be obtained from Dr Keith Snell (0483 571281
ext 2515) or Dr Peter Sanders (ext 2665). The molecular biology
group at Surrey is well-funded and has excellent resources and currently
contains over thirty research staff. Computer graphics and X-ray
crystallographic facilities are also available.
   The appointment is funded by the Cancer Research Campaign and
is initially for a period of three years at a starting salary of
up to 12150 pounds sterling per annum.
   Applications in the form of a c.v. (3 copies) including the
names and addresses of two referees should be sent to the
Personnel Office (JLG), University of Surrey, Guildford,
Surrey GU2 5XH, as soon as possible, quoting reference 838N.
   Further information can also be obtained by e-mail message
to MBY025@UK.AC.SURREY.SYSH.
