Applications are invited for a post of Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) within the William Harvey Research Institute at Bart's and The London Medical School, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
The candidate will be highly motivated and self-driven with interest in cancer and/or developmental biology to study the molecular mechanisms underlying craniopharyngiomas, a paediatric Wnt-driven hypothalamic-pituitary tumour. This project lies at the boundary between tumour and developmental biology and aims to establish how oncogenic b-catenin bearing stem cells initiate tumour formation. The lab employs transgenic models, developmental biology and bioinformatics techniques to understand early stages of tumour formation.
The post-holder will have proven ability to performed molecular biology techniques such as protein and gene expression (immunostaining, in situ hybridisation), DNA cloning, characterisation of genetic variants using biochemical assays (western, luciferases, in vitro cell culture), murine in vivo work & experience in managing mouse colonies (highly desirable for the post). Good knowledge of software for statistical analyses (graph-pad), editing figures (image-j, photoshop and illustrator) are essential. Genetic variant database-searches (Cosmic, ClinVar) and some bioinformatic knowledge would be beneficial for the post, although training will be provided by in house bioinformatician. The post-holder will be self-driven and ambitious and will be encouraged to formulate their own scientific questions arising from the data generated. The post-holder will work in close collaboration with clinical-scientist, bioinformaticians and geneticists.
