Postdoctoral Researcher – Cancer Epigenomics

1 week ago


Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

A Postdoctoral Researcher in Cancer Epigenomics is required to join Professor Xin Lu’s group at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research.

Professor Lu’s group are interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of tumour suppression with an aim of developing new strategies that can be used for the diagnosis of or therapeutic intervention against human cancer. You will be based at the University of Oxford’s Old Road Campus in Headington.

You will participate in the study of the DNA methylation landscape and its association with disease status in oesophageal cancer being treated with immunochemotherapy. You will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. You will also test hypotheses and analyse scientific data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining working hypotheses as appropriate, as well as supervising, advising and training junior staff in cell/molecular biology/biochemistry techniques and protocols.

It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in a relevant discipline, and along side this you will have experience in using standard molecular biology techniques and experience in using standard bioinformatic pipelines in a high-performance computing cluster environment. You will be experienced in analysing whole genome sequencing data of tumour samples, and also in analysing quantitative sequencing assays, which must include bulk transcriptomics AND methylome data. The ability to manage own academic research and associated activities is essential, and experience of operating Illumina sequencers is desirable for this role.
