Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Royensoc Full time

About Royensoc:

Royensoc is a renowned research institution dedicated to exploring the intricacies of plant evolution. Our team is committed to advancing our understanding of the complex interactions between plants and insects, with a focus on the development of innovative solutions for sustainable pollination.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoc Research Associate to join our project team as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The successful candidate will play a critical role in analyzing candidate genes for the regulation of petal spots in Gorteria diffusa, a South African daisy species that produces complex three-dimensional spots on its ray florets. This project has significant implications for our understanding of plant-insect interactions and the development of novel pollination strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Molecular and microscopical analysis of transgenic lines to understand the development and evolution of petal spots
  2. Generation of constructs for new transgenic lines to explore the genetic basis of spot formation
  3. Laser capture of tissues early in development for gene expression analysis to identify key regulatory genes
  4. Yeast-based approaches to investigate protein-protein and protein-promoter interactions involved in spot development

Requirements:

  • PhD in a relevant field (e.g., plant biology, genetics, biochemistry)
  • Proven experience in molecular biology techniques, including PCR, sequencing, and gene editing
  • Familiarity with yeast-based approaches and their applications in plant biology
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills

Salary: £32,296-£45,163 per annum
