Grade 7 (£29,837 – £36,661)

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research assistant to join the laboratory of Professor Kate Storey in the Division of Cell & Developmental Biology (College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee UK) working on cell biological mechanisms that regulate vertebrate neurogenesis.

This project builds on our recent discovery of a new form cell sub-division, apical abscission, which regulates the detachment of new-born neurons from the ventricle of the neural tube and differentiation progression.

Das, R.M. & Storey, K.G. (2014) Apical Abscission Alters Cell Polarity and Dismantles the Primary Cilium During Neurogenesis. Science 343, 200-204.

For details of on-going work in the lab and recent publications, please visit:www.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/people/kate-storey.

This Wellcome Trust funded position is available for 3 years. Experience with cell biological approaches as well as live cell imaging in embryos or in vitro would be an advantage, as would an interest in mechanisms regulating differentiation cell states. Informal enquiries are encouraged and should be directed to Professor Kate Storeyk.g.storey@dundee.ac.uk.
