Research Assistant/Associate in Optogenetics and Live-Imaging
Posted by Benjamin Steventon, on 8 October 2019
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
The Buckley lab at the department of Physiology, Development and
Neuroscience (PDN), University of Cambridge is recruiting a Research
Assistant or Research Associate to help further develop their
optogenetic technology. The lab uses optogenetic and live confocal
imaging approaches within the whole zebrafish neural tube and mammalian
embryo stem cell (mESC) culture to manipulate the polarity of single
cells. In combination with CRISPR-mediated functional knock down
experiments, we are directly testing the role of cell polarity in
building epithelial integrity during organ development and breaking in
it during normal developmental processes such as EMT and during abnormal
disease states.
The post is for 1 year in the first instance from early 2020 and funding
is available for potential contract extension.
