We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and talented cell biologist with the experimental and analytical expertise required to conduct neuromuscular translational research.
As an experienced molecular and cell biologist with a background in the neuromuscular field, you will develop, establish, and pursue your research programme.
In addition to your primary role to conduct laboratory research, you will supervise the laboratory work of students, research assistants, and postdoctoral fellows affiliated with the Centre.
You will be expected to raise funding for your own research and to carry out collaborative projects with DNC colleagues and their collaborators in partnering academic or industrial institutions and present research findings at seminars and conferences.
You will have experience in muscle biology and sufficient specialist knowledge to develop research projects and methodologies relevant to the field, including, for example, cell culture, manipulation of gene expression (e.g., siRNA, CRISPRi/a, splicing modulation, lentiviral transduction), and cell-based assays (fluorescent-based reporters, immunocytochemistry).
Experience working with animal models and/or in genetic therapy or related fields is also required.
You will have in-depth knowledge of molecular biology techniques (e.g., design and manipulation of expression constructs, PCR, RT-qPCR, site-directed mutagenesis) as well as biochemical techniques (e.g., western blotting). Experience in single-nuclei RNASeq and/or spatial transcriptomics is desirable. You will be able to independently design, conduct, analyse, and troubleshoot rigorous in vivo and in vitro experiments to drive projects.
