Summary
Grade UE07: £41,064 - £48,822 per annum
CMVM / SNCS/ Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
Fixed-Term: 4 years
Full-time: 35 hours per week
The Opportunity:
A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in Dr. Kathryn Bowles’ lab at the University of Edinburgh UK DRI centre. We are looking for a researcher interested in leading a research project using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived organoids to investigate the effect of ELAVL4 subcellular localisation on human neurodevelopment and neuronal stress responses. The postdoc will be responsible for culturing and differentiating iPSC lines, and carrying out various manipulations using genome editing, viral transduction, molecular biology techniques as well as transcriptomic and proteomic profiling. The postdoc will be expected to work with a high degree of independence in day-to-day work, and is encouraged to contribute their own ideas to the direction of the project. Training will be provided as necessary. The successful candidate must be able to work closely with others as a member of a research team, and will produce material for publication and dissemination.

The salary for this post is £41,064 to £48,822 per annum.
Your skills and attributes for success:
PhD, or PhD near completion; or other higher level degree (MD/PhD, etc) in relevant discipline (neuroscience, neurodegeneration, neurodevelopment, molecular and cellular biology).
Experience in iPSC culture and differentiation
Prior experience with viral transduction approaches
Experience with basic biochemical techniques
Familiarity with computational analyses, particularly a familiarity with R
