Department of Pathology, Central Cambridge

Applications are invited for two BBSRC-funded postdoctoral vacancy in molecular biology to join a multi-disciplinary team based at the Department of Pathology in Central Cambridge. The successful candidate will study RNA-structure dependent translational regulation in response to environmental changes.

Candidates should have a PhD, or expect to obtain one shortly, and have a strong track record in RNA-based molecular biology and/ research. Where the successful applicant does not yet have a PhD, he/she will normally be appointed as a Research Assistant on the understanding that he/she will be appointed as a Research Associate upon successful completion of his/her PhD.

Relevant experience in RNA molecular biology is essential. Knowledge of biochemistry, bioinformatics and handling biosafety level 2 material would be advantageous. The successful candidate will use a range of next-generation sequencing techniques including ribosome profiling as well as molecular biology techniques such as in vitro transcription/translation, recombinant protein expression and protein-protein or protein-RNA interaction assays.
