The Quantitative Gene Expression group headed by the Dr Samuel Marguerat is a new addition to the Integrative biology section form the CSC. The group’s research program aims at understanding how variability in RNA and protein molecule numbers impacts on quantitative phenotypes.
We are looking for a highly-motivated and creative postdoc willing to contribute to the development our recently established team. You will investigate the mechanisms by which cells adjust mRNA and protein levels and production rates to reach a certain size or to sustain a given growth rate. This will be done by exploiting quantitative transcriptomics and proteomics approaches in cell populations and single-cells using the model organism Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
You must hold a PhD in yeast genetics or another aspect of yeast biology, and have a strong background in molecular biology. An interest in genome-wide approaches and computational biology is essential, and proven publication record as well as previous experience working with fission yeast are preferred.
This post is a Career Development Fellowship to support post-doctoral scientists in early or changed career training and help establish them as successful research scientists in their chosen field. We offer a highly attractive benefits package including competitive salary and final salary pension scheme.
