Description
Salary for this Role:
From £43,210.00 With Benefits, Subject To Skills And Experience
Job Title:
Postdoctoral Fellow
Reports to:
Nathan Goehring
Closing Date:
23.59 GMT
Job Description:
Postdoctoral Fellow – NW Goehring lab
Reporting to: Nathan Goehring, Senior Group Leader
Contact term: This is a full-time, fixed term [4 year] position on Crick terms and conditions of employment.
Please note this is a rolling advert with no specific closing date. Applications will be considered as they arrive and will close once the position is filled.
The Research Group
Work in the Goehring lab aims to understand how cell polarity is established by molecular networks that transduce symmetry-breaking cues into stable molecular asymmetries. Our work focuses on a conserved polarity network defined by the PAR (PAR-titioning defective) proteins, which underlie polarity in diverse contexts, including defining epithelial architecture and function, driving asymmetric division of stem cells, and specifying cell fate of embryonic blastomeres.
Using the C. elegans embryo as a model, our interdisciplinary team combines genetics, quantitative imaging, in vivo biophysics, and mathematical modelling to link system-level properties of the PAR network to molecular behaviours, thereby providing a multi-scale model for how PAR proteins polarize cells in response to developmental cues and ultimately how polarized patterns are read out by the downstream pathways that define a cell's functional polarity. For more detail, please see our website.
Position Summary
We aim to recruit a talented and motivated Postdoctoral Training Fellow to join our group. Postdoctoral Training Fellows are expected to lead their own projects, generate and pursue independent research ideas, mentor junior researchers, and contribute to other projects on a collaborative basis (both in the lab and with external collaborators).
Some examples of current projects include:
Note this is a core-funded position, though successful candidates will be encouraged to pursue external fellowship support.
Potential applicants are encouraged to submit informal inquiries to nate.goehring@crick.ac.uk. Please include a clear statement of why you are interested in the lab, what types of projects/questions you would like to pursue, and how you see yourself contributing to our group.
Key experience and competencies
The post holder should embody and demonstrate our core Crick values: bold, imaginative, open, dynamic and collegial, in addition to the following:
Essential
At the Crick, we conduct research at the forefront of biomedical research. We combine rigour with an open and collaborative culture, and are outward-looking, reflecting our status as a partnership of six organisations aiming to pool knowledge, ideas and resources.
We have a wide research portfolio with no divisions or departments, bringing biomedical researchers together with clinicians, physical scientists and applied scientists from our pharmaceutical partners.
We aim to attract the most talented researchers and support them to tackle innovative research questions. Our science technology platforms provide our researchers with access to state-of-the-art technology and expertise.
We provide an excellent learning environment with dedicated education programmes in public engagement with science, education and personal development, and a postdoc training programme that prepares scientists for leadership roles in science.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, pregnancy, age, disability, or civil partnership, marital or family status. We particularly welcome applications from people who are Minority Ethnic as they are currently underrepresented in the Crick at this level.
Diversity is essential to excellence in scientific endeavour. It increases breadth and perspective, leading to more innovation and creativity. We want the Crick to be a place where everyone feels valued and where diversity is celebrated and seen as part of the foundation for our Institute’s success.
The Crick is committed to creating equality of opportunity and promoting diversity and inclusivity. We all share in the responsibility to actively promote dignity, respect, inclusivity and equal treatment and it is our aim to ensure that these principles are reflected and implemented in all strategies, policies and practices.
