POST-DOCTORAL TRAINING FELLOW

The Institute of Cancer Research is one of the world’s leading cancerresearch organisations and is internationally renowned for the qualityof its science.

A post-doctoral position is available in the Molecular Embryology Teamled by Professor Peter W. J. Rigby to investigate the molecularmechanisms of skeletal muscle specification and differentiation in thedeveloping mouse embryo. We are interested in the transcriptionalregulation of several determination genes during development (Myf5,Mrf4, HoxB4, FoxO1, Pax3, Pax7; seehttp://www.icr.ac.uk/gfr/teams/molemb.html), with particular interest onthe global regulation of complex gene loci (see Carvajal et al., 2008,Genes & Development 22: 265-276).

Candidates should have a PhD in the Biological/Biochemical sciences andpriority will be given to candidates with a strong background indevelopmental biology/anatomy research, transcriptional regulationresearch and/or transgenic mouse research.

Experience in recombinant DNA technology, protein biochemistry and thegeneration of transgenic mice by pronuclear injection would be anadvantage but extensive training in all aspects of the project can be provided.

The starting salary for the position will be in the range £29,256 to£32,698 p.a. inclusive (based on previous post-doctoral experience) andthis MRC-funded post is offered on a fixed term contract of up to 3 years.
