Postdoctoral position in cell/developmental biology at Edinburgh University

Posted by , on 20 April 2016

Closing Date: 15 March 2021

A postdoctoral position is available to study the developmental mechanisms that pattern differentiation during organ development.

Epithelial tubes often have a functional polarity written along their P-D axis, with specialised segments carrying out distinct physiological activities. With a handful of notable exceptions, we know little about how P-D axes and segment-specific differentiation are regulated during organogenesis.

We aim to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that pattern and maintain functional polarity along the P-D axis in a structurally simple, but functionally sophisticated epithelial tube: the Drosophila renal tubule.

 

Highly motivated applicants with a PhD and strong background in cell/developmental biology are encouraged to apply.
