Location:

Position:

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in mammalian developmental biology

Job Description:

Sir William Dunn

School of Pathology

Academic-related Research Staff Grade 7: Salary ￡26,666 – ￡32,796 p.a.

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate (Grade 7) in a Wellcome Trust funded laboratory with research interests in mammalian developmental biology located at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology.

Under the direction of Professor Elizabeth Robertson FRS, WT-PRF, the programme aims to understand the molecular signals responsible for cell growth and differentiation in the early mammalian embryo. We have used genetic approaches to investigate the roles of TGFβ growth factor signalling pathways in patterning the early body axis and in organogenesis. We are particularly interested in understanding the molecular mechanism by which specific transcription factors regulate the expansion of diverse progenitor cell populations in the embryo. Candidates with experience in targeted mutagenesis, cell imaging, flow cytometry, microarray, CHIP and/or proteomics approaches would be especially welcome. We are looking for a well trained and motivated scientist who is able to work independently and contribute conceptually to the overall research programme. Good organisational and communication skills are essential. This post is funded for one year in the first instance with the possibility of extension thereafter.
