Hinxton, United Kingdom Wellcome Sanger Institute Full time
About the Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. The successful candidate will be responsible for deciphering how oncogenic mutations colonise normal human tissues. This is a unique opportunity to work at the leading edge of experimental functional cellular genetics, exploiting a new 3D culture epithelial system together with CRISPR-Cas9 technologies and live imaging to study mutant cell competition and how it is influenced by environmental factors.

The goal of the project is to find interventions that can deplete mutant cells from normal tissues in order to reduce the risk of developing cancer. The successful candidate will have a PhD in cell biology, cancer or functional genetics, and experience in cell culture techniques, CRISPR gene editing, and informatics packages. They will also have a proven track record of innovation and productivity, be a very collaborative team player, have excellent organisational skills, and strong verbal and written communications skills.

About Us:

The Jones lab are world-leaders in studying how oncogenic mutants spread through normal tissues in the earliest stages of cancer development. Our approach is to work in a multidisciplinary and collaborative manner, with a team of wet-lab experimental and data scientists who work closely to generate and analyse biological datasets that range from live imaging or single cell sequencing to whole genome screens. Our combined expertise in DNA sequencing, in vivo lineage tracing, advanced 3D cell cultures and CRISPR based gene-editing puts us in the ideal position to develop novel interventions to prevent cancer.

What We Offer:

We offer a unique and well-resourced learning environment that will equip you for your future career. You will benefit from a competitive salary, a comprehensive benefits package, and the opportunity to work with a world-leading team of scientists. We are committed to creating a truly inclusive culture at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, where everyone can thrive. We aim to attract, recruit, retain and develop talent from the widest possible talent pool, thereby gaining insight and access to different markets to generate a greater impact on the world.
