Description

A three-year post doctoral position is available at the John Innes Centre (Norwich, UK; www.jic.ac.uk) to work on a collaborative project that aims to model how regulatory genes control organ development, using floral homeotic genes in Arabidopsis as the model system.

The ideal candidate will be a developmental biologist with a strong interest in live imaging techniques and will possess the ability to communicate with computer scientists to develop in silico models of floral organ development. The successful candidate will join the group of Robert Sablowski (http://www.jic.ac.uk/STAFF/robert-sablowski/sablowski.htm) and work in close collaboration with the Jan Traas group (École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France) for modelling at the cellular level and with the Enrico Coen group (JIC, Norwich) for modelling at the whole-organ level.

A PhD in molecular biology, genetics or a related subject is required. Due to the specific training involved, applicants must have less than three years post doctoral experience. Specific and generic skills the post holder will expect to gain by the end of the Post Doctoral Training Fellowship include methods for advanced imaging and quantitative modelling of growth and development. The post holder will also receive professional development training additional to that usually available to post doctoral workers.

Creativity and intellectual independence are essential and proven ability to write scientific papers is desirable. Experience in plant development, genetics and computer programming is desirable but not essential. The candidates must be available to travel to international meetings and for short visits to collaborating laboratories abroad.

Salary on appointment will be within the range £24,200 to £27,200 per annum (pay award pending) depending on qualifications and experience.
