Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester Metropolitan University Full time

Manchester Metropolitan University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Epigenetics position in the Department of Life Sciences. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Professor Murgatroyd and collaborate with the University of Aberdeen.



As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will have the opportunity to work on a 3-year project that focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating context-dependent enhancers that control behaviours with an impact on human health. You will also investigate how different types of methylation affect the activity of these enhancers and explore the role of maternal diet in the womb on the behaviour of subsequent generations.



This project involves DNA and RNA sequencing using Nanopore and pyrosequencing together with bioinformatics. You will be working in a laboratory setting with a team of researchers and academics from various institutions. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in molecular and cell biology, genetics, and DNA sequencing, as well as experience in sequencing techniques, especially next-generation and Nanopore.



To be successful in this role, you will need to demonstrate a proactive attitude, drive, and strong communication skills. You will also need to be able to plan and manage your own research project, work effectively as part of a multi-institutional team, and have excellent analytical and statistical skills.



The successful candidate will have a PhD degree in genetics, biological science, molecular biology, or a relevant area. You will also have a strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals relevant to the field.



The salary for this position is £35,000-£40,000 per annum, depending on experience. Manchester Metropolitan University offers a dynamic and supportive environment, state-of-the-art research facilities, and a range of benefits, including access to training and development opportunities.
