Job description

# Postdoctoral Researcher - Genome IntegrityUniversity of DundeeDundee, United KingdomPostdoctoralMolecular BiologyCell BiologyMicroscopyNo deadline given## About the positionPostdoctoral Researcher - Genome Integrity University of Dundee Dundee, United Kingdom GBP 37,694 - 46,049 per year We are looking for a talented ambitious postdoctoral researcher to join a Cancer Research UK-funded programme to examine the role of cell enlargement and senescence in cancer progression and treatment. This builds on our recent work demonstrating a role for cell enlargement in driving senescence and genome instability following anti-cancer therapy. Your priorities will include: Using various 'omics approaches to examine how cell enlargement drives senescence following cancer therapy. Using a wide range of cell biology methods, including live-cell microscopy, to characterise the transition into senescence. Studying how cell enlargement drives genome instability following senescence evasion or escape. Performing CRISPR screens to identify targetable vulnerabilities in enlarged mammalian cell types. Who we are looking for: A highly-motivated and ambitious postdoctoral researcher with a passion for science. A candidate with a PhD in relevant scientific area, with at least one main author publication. A candidate with a strong scientific background in cell biology and experience of working in the senescence field. Apply Now Deadline 11 November Don't forget to mention EuroScienceJobs when applying.
