英國約翰英納斯中心2024年招聘博士后職位（細胞與發育生物學）

Postdoctoral Researcher

Cell & Developmental Biology, John Innes Centre

Application Deadline Deadline:

09 September 2024

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Morgan Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Cell & Developmental Biology.

About the Morgan Group:

Research in the Morgan group focuses on understanding the mechanism of meiotic recombination, including the enigmatic phenomena of crossover interference. We combine advanced super-resolution imaging with genetics, genomics and biochemistry to investigate meiotic recombination, using Arabidopsis and wheat as model eukaryotes. Additionally, we regularly collaborate with groups specialising in other disciplines (e.g. mathematical modellers) to more comprehensively answer complex biological questions. See, for example, Morgan et al. 2021, Nat Comms 12, 4674.

The role:

The successful applicant will study the biochemistry of meiotic recombination proteins in Arabidopsis. Determining the activity, putative targets and oligomerisation properties of the recombination machinery in Arabidopsis will be vital for addressing key, open questions relating to meiotic crossover formation, such as what are the underlying biophysics behind recombination protein coarsening dynamics and how might this drive crossover designation?

The ideal candidate:

The successful candidate will have a PhD in molecular biology or a related discipline and a proven ability to perform protein biochemistry. Experience in biochemistry in plant systems is desirable, but not essential. The candidate should have a strong interest in understanding the molecular mechanism of meiotic recombination.

Candidates should have experience of protein purification, characterisation of purified proteins by biochemical, biophysical or structural techniques, molecular cloning of recombinant expression of proteins, proteomic analysis of protein-protein interactions and an understanding of the biochemical process of DNA recombination.
