Vacancies in the Department of Genetics

We currently have three vacancies in the Department

All jobs available in this Department are posted on this page, as well as on the general University of Cambridge vacancies pages.

Please note that this Department does not accept on-spec applications, and we do not keep on file non-specific CVs for possible future jobs - You may only apply for an existing, advertised position

Please always indicate clearly which post [or posts] below you are applying for, even if there is only one.

Post-Doctoral Research Associate - Cell signalling & transcription

Vacancy Reference No: PC12941
Salary - £27,428-£35,788 pa
Limit of tenure applies*

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to participate in a programme of research focused on the dynamics of cell signalling and transcription in embryonic stem cells in vivo funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The project involves the development of tools and systems to follow gene expression in real time. You should be skilled in molecular biology and mammalian tissue culture and ideally also have experience in protein purification and structural biology.

Applications, which should consist of a completed CHRIS/6 application form (Parts I and III) - see http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/ - a full CV and covering letter describing your research interests, should be sent to Mrs A Read, Dept of Genetics, Downing St, Cambridge CB2 3EH. e-mail: jobs@gen.cam.ac.uk

* Limit of tenure: Two years from date of appointment
Closing Date: 14 February 2012

 

Research Assistant - Cell signalling & transcription

Vacancy Reference No: PC12981
Salary - £23,661 - £26,629 pa
Limit of tenure applies*

Applications are invited for a Research Assistant to participate in a programme of research focused on the dynamics of cell signalling and transcription in embryonic stem cells in vivo funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The project involves the development of tools and systems to follow gene expression in real time. You will be involved in the development of tagged constructs for live imaging microscopy studies of the dynamics of genes involved in cell fate decisions and will also undertake the analysis of the expression of existing tagged genes in cell lines. You should have a high level of expertise in molecular biology and ideally some experience in cell culture.

Applications, which should consist of a completed CHRIS/6 application form (Parts I and III) - see http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/ - a full CV and covering letter describing your research interests, should be sent to Mrs A Read, Dept of Genetics, Downing St, Cambridge CB2 3EH. e-mail: jobs@gen.cam.ac.uk

Post-Doctoral Research Associate - Stem cell differentiation

Vacancy Reference No: PC12592
Salary - £27,428-£35,788 pa
Limit of tenure applies*

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to join an interdisciplinary research group and participate in a European Research Council (ERC) funded project on the dynamics of gene expression during stem cell differentiation. You should have experience in biological image analysis and knowledge of software tool development, with a focus on usability, and an interest in working with experimentalists. Knowledge of microscopy will be an advantage.

Applications, which should consist of a completed CHRIS/6 application form (Parts I and III) - see http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/ - a full CV and covering letter describing your research interests, should be sent to Ms R Baglow, Dept of Genetics, Downing St, Cambridge CB2 3EH. e-mail: jobs@gen.cam.ac.uk
