job description

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the laboratory of Dr. Adele Marston, funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Scottish Universities Life Sciences Alliance (SULSA). The laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of chromosome segregation during cell division in meiosis and mitosis, using budding and fission yeast as model systems. We have recently identified novel pathways that operate from the pericentromere (chromosomal region surrounding the centromere) to ensure the accuracy of chromosome segregation. We are now looking for an enthusiastic and talented researcher to join our team investigating the molecular mechanisms that underlie the role of the pericentromere in chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis.

You should have, or will shortly obtain, a PhD in a relevant subject area and will have experience in molecular biology, cell biology and/or biochemistry. An outstanding academic track record is essential and at least one first author publication in a prominent journal is expected.

The position is available for up to 24 months in the first instance and available from 1 January 2012.
