Vacancies available: 2, based in the Roslin Institute, Edinburgh
We are inviting applications for Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow positions (2 in Edinburgh/2 in Nottingham) to join an exciting new research programme (iBreed) funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a novel in vitro gametogenesis platform. The iBreed programme is a collaborative project between research teams led by Prof Bruce Whitelaw and Dr Tom Burdon at University of Edinburgh (Roslin Institute) and Prof Ramiro Alberio at the University of Nottingham. The team’s expertise in genetic engineering, stem cell and developmental biology will be applied to characterising bovine gametogenesis in vivo, and directing differentiation in vitro. The project will focus on using state-of-the art genomic and epigenetic tools, gene editing and stem cell technologies available in the collaborating laboratories, to generate bovine gametes in vitro.
Your skills and attributes for success:
- Successful applicants will have a strong scientific background in areas such as developmental/stem cell biology, organ culture, and/or gene editing/manipulation and will be expected to work collaboratively within and between the two teams.
- Applicants must be highly motivated and self-driven, and able to work independently and collaboratively.
- Applicants will have a PhD in cell/developmental biology or related area of biological science (PhD students about to submit their thesis in a relevant area of stem cell biology will be considered).
- A track record of publishing research is also desirable.
- Experience in bioinformatics and cellular differentiation are relevant for the project.
The posts are available from 1st June 2024 and is a 3 year fixed term contract. These are full-time posts (35 hrs/week for University of Edinburgh posts; 36.25 hrs/week for University of Nottingham posts).
