Job description

Postdoctoral Fellow – Santos LabReporting to: Silvia Santos, Group ChiefContact time period: It is a full-time, fastened time period (4 years) place on Crick phrases and situations of employment.Please be aware there isn’t any time limit for this function and we begin screening CVs and interviewing candidates from the beginning of a marketing campaign. We encourage you to use as quickly as attainable in case you are within the function.The Analysis GroupThe Quantitative Stem Cell Biology lab, headed by Dr Silvia Santos, was established in 2018 on the Francis Crick Institute. The lab’s major focus is knowing cell decision-making. Present areas of analysis embody understanding regulatory mechanism regulating cell destiny specification, cell cycle reworking throughout mobile differentiation and the interaction between metabolism, cell cycle and cell destiny. There’s a robust concentrate on single cell evaluation, superior reside cell imaging, multi-omics approaches and computations. The lab makes use of quite a lot of mannequin methods: mouse and human embryonic stem cells (ESC), 3D organoid fashions of mouse and human improvement and mouse embryos. The staff is multi-disciplinary, numerous and presently composed of 4 PhD college students, one undergraduate scholar, one bioinformatician, one post-doctoral fellow and one senior laboratory analysis scientist. The Santos lab promotes unbiased, inventive considering and gives glorious coaching and mentorship.For extra info on the Quantitative Stem Cell Biology lab please see:.The Francis Crick Institute gives an excellent group and scientific atmosphere for postdoctoral coaching. It provides a superb coaching program for postdocs. Alternatives embody the post-doc to PI transition coaching (non-obligatory), a variety of coaching alternatives in computational/ experimental/out-of-the-lab expertise, the chance to rent/supervise summer time college students, the chance to organise scientific conferences and the potential to have collaborative tasks with trade.Casual enquires will be despatched on to Dr Silvia Santos at [email protected]The UndertakingA possible undertaking is to know the interaction between cell division and cell identification throughout human improvement, reprogramming and illness utilizing hESC and organoid fashions.On this undertaking, a few of the particular goals embody however are usually not restricted to:

• To make use of genome enhancing applied sciences to perturb the cell cycle-cell identification cross-talk
• To measure cell cycle dynamics throughout mobile transitions by state-of-the-art reside cell imaging
• To combine sequencing (OMICS) and imaging information units

The profitable candidate could have the chance to determine on the precise undertaking(s) they wish to undertake throughout their postdoc time within the lab. Specifics of various tasks will likely be mentioned with Dr Silvia Santos. The profitable candidate can both select considered one of these tasks or determine to undertake a brand new, unbiased undertaking inside the lab’s pursuits.Postdoctoral Fellows will lead their very own analysis undertaking(s) and will contribute to different collaborative tasks (each inside the lab and with exterior collaborators). Postdocs inside the lab are anticipated to contribute to a superb lab tradition and practice (junior) colleagues. Postdoctoral fellows are inspired to handle collaborative work with Science Know-how Platforms on the Francis Crick Institute. The power to work independently and as a part of the staff is important. Wonderful communication expertise are important. The postholder is anticipated to both have already got some experience in information evaluation or be keen to be taught whereas within the lab. Coaching will likely be out there on the Institute and inside the lab in programming languages comparable to R. The postholder will likely be liable for sustaining very organised lab information and protocols. The postholder will likely be anticipated to current their work internally and inspired to attend and current at nationwide and worldwide scientific conferences. The postholder will likely be inspired to take advantage of out of the coaching and community alternatives for postdoc fellows on the Francis Crick Institute.Key expertise and competenciesThe publish holder ought to embody and show our core Crick values:Daring; Open; CollegialImportant

• PhD in areas related to Cell, Molecular or Developmental Biology (or within the closing phases of PhD submission)
• Ardour for and monitor report in understanding Gene Regulation and destiny selections
• Experience in sequencing/OMICS approaches (any, together with, RNAseq, ATACseq, ChIPseq)
• Good data of genome enhancing approaches
• Intensive experience with cell tradition
• Wonderful communication expertise
• Observe report of writing papers as evidenced by publications or submitted manuscripts in referred journals
• Proof of presenting information at scientific conferences
• Proof of embodying the core Crick values: collegial, inventive, open

Fascinating

• Expertise with microscopy will likely be an asset
• Expertise with genome enhancing approaches will likely be an asset
• Expertise with R or one other programming language
• Expertise working collaboratively and/or having skilled junior colleagues
