Context

The Francis Crick Institute is a new research institute with a distinct vision of how biomedical research is conducted. It is one of the most significant projects in UK biomedical science for a generation. The institute’s laboratories have an international reputation for cutting-edge research into basic biology and are committed to training the next generation of research scientists. The four-year Postdoctoral Training programme is part of this commitment and nearly half of the Postdoctoral Fellows leave to set up their own research groups. Postdocs also benefit from living and working in one of the world’s greatest scientific, cultural and cosmopolitan capital cities.

The Francis Crick Institute (the Crick) is a partnership between the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), the Wellcome Trust, University College London (UCL), Imperial College London and King’s College London. It is a registered charity whose purpose is to conduct biomedical research into all aspects of human health and disease.

The institute will be a world-leading centre of biomedical research and innovation. It will promote connections between researchers and disciplines and between academic institutions, healthcare organisations and businesses. Dedicated to research excellence, the institute will have the scale, vision and expertise to tackle the most challenging scientific questions underpinning health and disease. It will be world-class with a strong national role — training scientists and developing ideas for public good. On 1 April 2015, staff from the London Research Institute (CRUK) and National Institute for Medical Research (MRC) transferred to the Crick to form a fully functional research institute on four sites. In 2016, the Crick will move to a single new, purpose built research centre in St. Pancras which will house some 1,500 staff.

We seek a talented and motivated postdoc to analyse biochemical and functional aspects of the chromosomal cohesin complex to join Dr Frank Uhlmann’s laboratory.
