London, Greater London, United Kingdom MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences Full time

4 years

Full Time (36 hours per week)

The LMS is a world-class research laboratory where scientists and clinicians collaborate to advance the understanding of biology and its application to medicine. Funded by the MRC as part of UK Research and Innovation, the LMS has a collaborative working culture and a new state-of-the-art building next to the Hammersmith Hospital Campus.

Based in the Functional Gene Control Group (Group Head: Dr Mikhail Spivakov), the Senior Investigator Scientist will lead scientific research in the area of gene regulation, focusing on the logic of gene control by enhancers and the principles of enhancer-promoter communication.

The Group's experimental models include human primary blood cells, cancer cell lines and human stem cells, interrogated using a combination of advanced experimental and computational techniques for chromatin and chromosomal interaction profiling, single-cell multiomics and CRISPR perturbations.
