UK: Postdoctoral Research Position at University of Cambridge - Department of Oncology

Overview

The funds for this post are available for three years in the first instance.Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position, to join a research programme focussed on the cell biology of the vertebrate centrosome.

The centrosome determines the temporal and spatial distribution of microtubule networks in most animal cells. Centrosome malfunction is associated with malignant transformation (Zyss and Gergely, Trends in Cell Biol, 2009). The objective of our research is to probe the role of the centrosome in genomic stability and in tumour formation. The project will include the use of standard cell and molecular biological techniques to study a number of centrosomal proteins in cell lines. In particularly, we use reverse genetics in the avian B cells, DT40, to dissect the function of individual centrosomal proteins (Barr et al, J. Cell Biol, 2010).

Value

Salary: £27,319 - £35,646 pa

Eligible Candidates

Candidates should hold a PhD or equivalent degree in a relevant area of biological sciences. We are looking for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral scientist with a strong interest in cell biology. Ours is a small laboratory and therefore the ideal candidate will be a team player with excellent communication skills.
