Postdoctoral research associate studying signalling in stem cells (University of Manchester)
Posted by Hilary Ashe, on 19 January 2023
Location: University of Manchester, UK
Closing Date: 7 February 2023
A postdoctoral research associate position is available to work on a project studying how signalling filopodia collect and transduce the BMP signal in Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells. This project will build on our recent progress in this area (Wilcockson and Ashe, Dev Cell 2019) by developing a key research tool for the project. The successful applicant will join Hilary Ashe’s lab to work on this BBSRC funded project, which represents a collaboration with Shukry Habib, Lausanne. For further details of research within the Ashe lab, see: http://ashelab.com/. You should hold or be working towards a PhD or equivalent in a biological science, be highly motivated and have an interest in developmental signalling. The position is available for 1 year.
Informal enquiries should be directed to Hilary Ashe, hilary.ashe@manchester.ac.uk
