Job summary

University of Cambridge invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Stem Cell Epigenetics/Cell Size Regulation. The project explores how cell size influences epigenetic state and stem cell fate decisions, using stem cell maintenance and differentiation protocols, epigenetics assays, proteomics, transcriptomics, and quantitative live-cell imaging.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in a related field, experience in two or more of these techniques, and a strong record of

Qualifications

PhD in a relevant field and a strong publication record.
Experience with two or more of the listed techniques (epigenetics, stem cells, proteomics, transcriptomics) is expected.
Interest in cellular decision-making and quantitative biology is essential.

Responsibilities

Investigate how cell size biases stem cell fate decisions (self-renewal vs differentiation).
Apply stem cell maintenance and differentiation protocols and various epigenetics assays.
Utilize proteomics and transcriptomics, biochemistry, quantitative live-cell microscopy and flow cytometry to address research questions.
