Postdoc position studying Gene expression dynamics during development (University of Manchester)
Posted by Hilary Ashe, on 12 May 2021
Location: University of Manchester, UK
Closing Date: 7 June 2021
A postdoctoral research associate position at the University of Manchester is available to study how gene expression dynamics control cell fate decisions during development, using the Drosophila embryo as a model. This project will use a combination of cutting-edge live imaging, single molecule FISH and CRISPR genome editing approaches to study and perturb gene expression dynamics. The successful applicant will join a team of experimental and computational biologists, led by Professors Hilary Ashe and Magnus Rattray, which is funded by a Wellcome Trust programme investigating spatiotemporal gene expression dynamics at single-cell resolution (e.g. Vinter et al, Dev 2021; Hoppe et al, Dev Cell 2020; Bowles et al, biorxiv 2020). For further details of research within the Ashe lab, see: http://ashelab.com/. Informal enquiries should be made to Hilary Ashe.
Closing Date: 7 June 2021
Scientific fields: Gene regulation, Cell fate control and differentiation, Development and disease
