A Postdoctoral position is available in the group of Prof. André Gerber to investigate combinatorial control of gene expression by RNA-binding proteins and non-coding RNAs (for review see Imig et al. 2012 BioMol. Concepts, 3, 403). The project is funded by the BBSRC for up to 3 years.
The aim of the project is to investigate how combinatorial arrangement of proteins/ncRNAs affects the fate of selected mRNAs during stress and in cancer. It involves the application and further development of a new method for biochemical purification of stress and cancer-related RNAs from yeast and human cancer cells, respectively, followed by the systematic identification of the bound proteins/ncRNAs with proteomics/genomics means. You will be expected to combine transcriptomics (e.g. RNA-Seq, microarrays) and proteomics with classical biochemical, genetic and cell-biological methods.
You will be an excellent and highly motivated scientist with a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology or related field. Previous experience with genomics and/or proteomics tools and bioinformatics/computational biology would be a great plus. Good communication skills are essential. You will also be expected to participate in national and international collaborations.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Prof. Andre Gerber (e–mail: a.gerber@surrey.ac.uk). More information is available at http://www2.surrey.ac.uk/microbial/People/professor_andr_gerber/index.htm.
Our benefits package includes generous annual leave, final salary pension scheme, relocation provision, childcare assistance and leisure facilities.
