A postdoctoral researcher is sought for a two-year post in Professor Yanick Crow's group to investigate the interrelationships between Toll-like receptor (TLR) and cytosolic nucleic acid innate immune signalling.

**The Opportunity**:
As exemplified by the type I interferonopathies, Mendelian diseases associated with chronically enhanced type I interferon signalling, while essential in protection against infection, inappropriate activation of interferon signalling can be pathogenic. To date, characterisation of the type I interferonopathies has emphasised cytosolic nucleic acid sensing pathways in disease pathogenesis. However, we have recently implicated Toll-like receptor (TLR) endosomal signalling as central to the pathogenesis of three novel type I interferonopathies. Notably, our unpublished data indicate an unexpected degree of ‘cross-talk’ between the TLR and cytosolic nucleic acid sensing pathways. This new post is designed to explore these observations in detail.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- Extensive laboratory experience in cell and molecular biology experimentation
- Specific skills relating to the following techniques: mammalian cell/tissue culture, cloning and transfection, gene silencing and editing (CRISPR), microscopy, transcriptomic profiling, western blotting, immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry
- Excellent knowledge of scientific English for speaking, reading, and writing
