The post holder should hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD/DPhil in biochemistry, molecular/cell biology or genetics and have a good understanding of the principals of gene expression in higher eukaryotes.
The research project will involve a wide range of molecular biology and biochemical techniques, including RNA work, protein purification, mammalian cell culture, next generation sequencing genome-wide analyses (ChIP) and mass spectrometry.
Previous expertise in either molecular mechanisms of transcription, RNA processing, DNA damage or R-loop biology would be essential for this job.
You should also have strong publication record, good organizational and communication skills, and being able to work as part of a team.
Candidates with experience in genomic analyses, proteomic approaches, imaging analysis, iPS differentiation and bioinformatics would be especially welcome.
