Institution:
Functional Genetics Unit, Medical Research Council
Position:
Career Development Fellowship - Small RNA Regulation
Application Deadline:10 September 2007
Job Description:
We are looking for a post-doctoral scientist to join Dr Ji-Long Liu’s group at the MRC Functional Genetics Unit. The post holder will join a newly established research team working on small RNA biogenesis using Drosophila as a model system. The long-term goal is to understand small RNA (snRNA/miRNA/siRNA/piRNA) regulatory network in the reproductive and nervous systems. Combining genetics and biochemistry, we will particularly focus on the relationship of two newly discovered cytoplasmic organelles, the U body and the P body (Liu JL and Gall JG. PNAS. 2007 July 10; 104(28):11655). Study of small RNA biogenesis by developmental genetic approaches promises to form a broad view on basic cellular questions, as well as shed light on molecular mechanism of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a common neurodegenerative disease.
The successful applicant should have a strong background in biochemistry and cell biology. Experience of Drosophila genetics would be an advantage, although training will be given.
The Unit is embedded within the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford and is a world-renowned centre for research into neuromuscular and neurodegenerative disorders. We offer excellent laboratory facilities in the recently opened Henry Wellcome Building of Gene Function.
This is a 3 year training and development position for a post-doctoral scientist. It provides opportunities to develop research project skills and develop collaborative links with colleagues within the University of Oxford and elsewhere.
Salary:£24,993 - £29,977 per annum
