London, Greater London, United Kingdom Francis Crick Institute Full time

Job title: Postdoctoral Fellow – H Yardimci lab

Reporting to: Hasan Yardimci, Senior Group Leader

Contact term: This is a full-time fixed term position on Crick terms and conditions of employment.

Salary for this Role: £43,210 with benefits, subject to skills and experience

Closing date and time: 1 Month from the day advert goes live

The research group

Our laboratory investigates processes involved in eukaryotic DNA replication and genome maintenance using conventional biochemistry and single-molecule visualization tools. To study eukaryotic replication, we use a number of model systems including Xenopus egg extracts and a reconstituted system with purified human proteins. The group currently consists of around 6 researchers including PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and laboratory research scientists. For more information, please see the laboratory website.

The Project

We aim to unravel the intricate mechanisms of eukaryotic DNA replication machinery as it maneuvres through the chromatin landscape, shedding light on the processes that ensure accurate genome duplication. Employing the precision of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, we can observe replisome dynamics unfold in real time. Previous work in our lab has shed light on the interplay between DNA replication and essential chromatin processes, including parental histone recycling (Gruszka et al, 2019. Sci Adv) and the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion (Cameron et al, 2024. Science). Building on these foundations, our current project seeks to elucidate the molecular intricacies of these interactions, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of genomic fidelity.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will lead their own projects, contribute to other projects in the lab and may guide PhD students in their research. They will have the opportunity to present their work at international conferences and partake in interdisciplinary collaborations that will expand both knowledge and professional networks. Therefore, the ability to work in a team is essential.

Informal enquiries are welcome, and should be directed to Hasan Yardimci ).
