Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Division of Developmental Biology, MRC-NIMR. Funding is available for 2 years from the Simon’s Foundation, an international sponsor of autism research, for a project led by Drs John Jacob and James Briscoe. The successful candidate will build on prior genetic approaches in autism by investigating the molecular pathology of abnormal development of critical neuronal groups in the brainstem in autism. This will involve in vivo analysis of a mouse genetic model of autism, as well as proteomic approaches and yeast two hybrid screens. A strong background in molecular biology techniques will be essential for successful completion of this project. Candidates should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline.
MRC-NIMR provides a supportive and collaborative environment, comprising state-of-the-art imaging and mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and computational facilities, FACS, and excellent transgenic fish, frog and mouse facilitates.
