伦敦大学国王学院胚胎细胞极性博士后岗位

Institution:

King's College London

Position:

A postdoctoral position to investigate embryonic cell polarity, including molecular and cell-biological aspects of epithelial architecture and convergent extension movements.

Salary:

£25K approx. including London allowance.

Job Description:

Polarity proteins and signalling pathways controlling embryonic morphogenesis:
This three year postdoctoral position is to investigate embryonic cell polarity, including molecular and cell-biological aspects of epithelial architecture and convergent extension movements. The project will use Xenopus embryos in fixed- and live-imaging to analyze the role of key molecules in the Wnt pathways and PAR polarity cassette (See Ossipova et al. (2005) Developmental Cell 8:829-41 and Green & Davidson, Nature Cell Biology, September 2007). It would suit an energetic candidate with experience in embryology, cell biology and/or molecular biology. Imaging expertise would be a plus.

The post is at the Guy’s Campus of King’s College London, located near London Bridge in the top-ranked Department of Craniofacial Development.

Salary will be on the standard Research Council scale (£25K approx. including London allowance).
