Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

A postdoctoral position is available in the Waller laboratory to work on a joint BBSRC-NSF-funded project, in collaboration with Prof Christopher Lane at the University of Rhode Island, to study Nephromyces symbionts as evolutionary precursors to parasitism in Apicomplexa. The project will use fluorescence and electron microscopy techniques to investigate the lifecycle stages and structural details of these cells, and leverage genomics and single-cell RNA-Seq data to interpret their biology and evolution. The position will be based in the University of Cambridge, Department of Biochemistry, Central Cambridge, and interact with colleagues at the University of Rhode Island, USA.

The successful candidate will have a PhD and experience in cell and molecular biology. Knowledge and experience with microscopy methods and microbial eukaryotes will be an advantage but not a requirement. Ability to work both as part of a team, and independently, coupled with excellent communication, organizational and problem-solving skills are required.

The University of Cambridge is a signatory to the San-Francisco Declaration on Research (Assessment DORA) and in recruitment or promotion evaluations will assess research on the basis of its merits rather than the journal or venue in which it is published. Applicants should not include Journal Impact Factors or uncontextualised metrics in their applications. For more information: www.biology.cam.ac.uk/files/dora.pd

The position is available from December 2024 and is funded for 4 years in the first instance.

Informal enquiries are welcomed and can be directed to Professor Waller: rfw26@cam.ac.uk
