Crynodeb
We are seeking a Post-doctoral research associate to investigate the mechanisms of mutagenesis in the human genome.
The Opportunity:
To lead a programme of original, high-quality research focusing on the molecular mechanistic details of mutagenesis in the human genome, based in the research team of Professor Martin Taylor at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer. This will be primarily through computational analysis of genomic and related data and will depend on good mechanistic understanding of cellular processes involved in genome replication, damage tolerance and repair. Analyses will entail the development of novel software tools and pipelines for new and cutting-edge analysis. There is scope to design new laboratory experiments and commission high-throughput data generation, so although primarily computational, a good understanding of practical molecular biology will be important. It is expected that the holder of this post will take a leading role in producing analyses for publication and dissemination, including contributions to manuscript writing and presenting at conferences.
This post is fixed-term until 31st March 2028 and full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
The salary for this post is at Grade UE07: £40,497 to £48,149 per annum, pro-rata if part-time.
Your skills and attributes for success:
An inquisitive mindset.
Demonstrated understanding of fundamental cellular processes in molecular detail, e.g. DNA replication and repair.
Evidence of aptitude for innovative computational analysis.
Ability to design well controlled, appropriately powered experiments or analyses.
