We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated Post-doctoral Research Scientist with experience in molecular and cellular biology, protein biochemistry and cell imaging, with the ability to work to a high standard. Previous laboratory experience, good communication skills, and the ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team are essential in order to make a strong contribution to the project.

The research project will build on a rich set of preliminary proteomics data constituting a network of interaction of BET proteins, seeking to verify these findings in vivo employing cellular biology and imaging. A wide range of molecular and cellular biology techniques will be employed, including protein engineering and cloning, protein purification, immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting, site-specific photo-cross-linking, mammalian cell culture, confocal imaging, siRNA/shRNA depletion of proteins, FACS, ChIP and ChIP-seq.

You will have a PhD in a biological or biophysical science area with an excellent academic track record, or an equivalent combination of training and experience. A proven high level of technical competence in standard cell and molecular biology techniques, including cell imaging (confocal microscopy) would be essential.

The ability to work independently & flexibly & manage the day-to-day running of a research project including assisting the work of junior researchers is important.

Knowledge of appropriate Health & Safety procedures would be beneficial.

Only applications received before 12.00 noon on Wednesday 6th February 2013 can be considered.
