The post
The Faculty of Health and Life Sciences wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support the work of Brian Hendrich. This MRC funded post is available from 1 September 2025 for a period of 18 months in the first instance. The successful applicant will undertake a project focused on determining how chromatin remodelling proteins facilitate neural crest development using human induced pluripotent stem cell model system. A good understanding of enhancer and chromatin biology is essential, and the ability to analyse next generation sequencing datasets using R-based programming would be advantageous.
About you
The successful applicant will have a PhD (or nearing completion), experience in mammalian stem cell culture and a strong grasp of molecular and biochemical lab techniques. The candidate will have a keen interest in the control of cell fate decisions and a good understanding of chromatin-based control of gene expression at both the 2D (DNA and chromatin) and 3D (nuclear organisation) levels. These will be supported by a proven track record in scientific publications. Applicants must display an ability to undertake project management, work within a multi-disciplinary team environment and the ability to contribute to an environment supporting researchers at all stages of their careers including supervising and training junior colleagues.
The successful applicant will be able to present information on research progress and outcomes, communicate complex information, orally, in writing and electronically and prepare proposals and applications to external bodies.
