Postdoctoral Researcher

4 months ago


Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

Full time: 35 hours per week

Fixed term: 12 months

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated cancer biologist to join our team in melanoma heterogeneity. Our group forms part of a vibrant research community within the MRC Human Genetics Unit where our specific focus is understanding how heterogeneous melanoma cell populations contribute to disease progression. Strong interest in cancer heterogeneity and/or bar coding technologies is crucial whilst previous experience in omics analysis and melanoma model techniques are desirable.

The Opportunity:

A major question in melanoma is to understand which patients will have recurrent disease following therapy. The goal of this project is to identify and elucidate the cell(s) of origin in residual disease that contributes to recurrent disease. In particular this project will involve using multi-spectral lineage tracing and bar coding techniques to follow individual cells over time and how they contribute to melanoma disease progression.

This post is fixed term for 1 year and is full-time 35 hours per week.

Your skills and attributes for success:

  • PhD in a relevant subject.
  • Strong interest in melanoma heterogeneity and disease models, specifically persister cells in residual disease.
  • Previous experience in advanced imaging techniques.
  • Experience working with datasets and zebrafish is desirable, but not essential.
  • Ability to work independently, to take a leadership role in driving a project forward, and to work well as a member of a collaborative team.
