University of Cambridge - Department of Genetics
Cambridge, United Kingdom
Research Associate in Bioimaging (Fixed Term)
Announcement date: 09 November 2023 - Deadline for application: 30 November 2023Description
Job reference: PC39194
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the group of Dr Erik Clark at the Department of Genetics in central Cambridge. We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic individual to join a small interdisciplinary team investigating the robust patterning of the early Drosophila embryo. We envision the role as being mainly computational, but the scope is flexible and imaging specialists of all backgrounds are very welcome to apply.
Deadline: 30 November 2023
Requirements
You should be comfortable working with biological data using a programming language such as Python. Ideally, you will already have a solid practical and theoretical knowledge of microscopy and image analysis, plus an interest in developmental gene regulation and patterning. Previous experience investigating gene expression in the early Drosophila embryo would of course be very useful. However, we will support you to develop your skills and knowledge over the course of the project, so your capacity for self-directed learning is more important than the specific topic of your PhD. We will provide you with a supportive and stimulating research network, significant investment in skills training, and continuous professional development. This is an ideal opportunity for a motivated scientist wishing to tackle a fundamental biological problem within a world-class research environment.
