The Opportunity:
An exciting postdoctoral position is available to understand the role of autophagy and lysosomal degradation in aging and aging-related diseases.
A postdoctoral research fellow position is available at the laboratory of Noor Gammoh, University of Edinburgh. The lab is interested in investigating key events during autophagy initiation, progression, and lysosomal degradation, as well as the relevance of autophagy in disease. A current project aims to uncover molecular events underlying lysosomal degradation of autophagic cargo using a combination of cell biology and biochemical techniques.
The lab seeks a highly motivated, skilled, and dedicated postdoctoral research fellow. The candidate must have completed a PhD (or anticipate to obtain one soon) and ideally possess a strong publication record. Experience in basic molecular techniques and excellent technical skills are essential. The candidate should demonstrate the ability to design, execute, and interpret experiments, along with creative thinking, good presentation skills, problem-solving abilities, self-motivation, and critical analysis skills.
The lab is located at the Cancer Research UK Scotland Centre, part of the Institute of Genetics and Cancer, which offers state-of-the-art technologies, a collaborative research environment, and access to advanced services. The Centre emphasizes mentoring and nurturing scientists to develop the next generation of scientific leaders.
This is a full-time (35 hours per week), fixed-term position with funding available for 3 years, subject to review after 6 months.
