University of Dundee; Dundee; On-site; GBP 36,000 - 48,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Dundee invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Genome Integrity group led by Professor Adrian Saurin in Dundee, Scotland. This fixed-term appointment spans 36 months and focuses on developing chemical-genetic systems to modulate cyclin-substrate interactions, contributing to cutting-edge proteomics and cell biology work.

The successful candidate will carry out experiments validating new approaches, identify cyclin/CDK substrates, and publish high-quality

Qualifications

• 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 first author publication.
• A strong scientific background in cell biology with experience of working on the cell cycle
• Candidates who are motivated, honest, hard-working, collaborative and possess excellent organisational skills

Responsibilities

• Generating and validating new chemical-genetic approaches to inhibit different cyclin-substrate interactions
• Using cutting-edge (phospho)-proteomics methods to identify binding partners and substrates of specific cyclin/CDKs complexes
• Using a wide range of cell biology methods, including live-cell microscopy, to study the phenotypes associated with inhibition of specific cyclin/CDK subcomplexes
• Linking the observed phenotypes to specific cyclin-substrates interactions
