1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the research group of Dr Sarah De Val at the University of Oxford. Our lab studies the different regulatory pathways which control gene expression within the vasculature, with an emphasis on transcriptional regulation of endothelial heterogeneity. The successful applicant will lead on a research project aiming to understand how arterial identity and differentiation is regulated, and to identify novel strategies to induce and improve arterial growth to prevent ischemia and stimulate tissue repair.
Application Deadline: 21-Aug-2024
2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project will involve single cell transcriptome, hyper-LOPIT 3D subcellular proteomics data combined with RNAi approaches to identify how a host cell can manipulate the fate of its endosymbiotic partner cells. Using these datasets, we will then apply phylogenomic methods to understand how host control mechanisms evolve in endosymbiotic interactions. You will have the opportunity to use a number of established datasets and so must be confident in a range of bioinformatic approaches. As such the post could be largely a bioinformatic post or one that combines an equal share of bioinformatic analyses and laboratory work. You will have the opportunity to collaborate in the preparation of research publications and presenting papers at conferences or public meetings.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The post holder will be an integral member of the Jansen research group carrying out collaborative research on one (or a few) defined projects. These will focus on understanding the role of chromatin and DNA sequence in the assembly of functioning of human centromeres. Specifically, the post holder will participate in a project focussing on the histone variant CENP-A at centromeres and discovering the mechanisms of assembly and stable transmission of centromeric chromatin. In addition to running the project, the post holder will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD and project students.

6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are hiring new talent to join our research team here at the Target Discovery Institute, Nuffield Department of Medicine. The Song research group aims to decode the chemical modifications of our genome, transcriptome, and proteome in human health and disease – cancer in particular – and translating this information into diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities that ultimately benefit patients. Recently, we developed a novel sequencing method for the most abundant RNA modification pseudouridine (bioRxiv 2024.2001.2008.574649, Nat. Methods accepted). We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist with experience in RNA biology to lead various projects to uncover the role of pseudouridine and pseudouridine synthases (PUS) in cancer, and explore the potential clinical application of pseudouridine in the circulating cell-free RNA for cancer diagnostics.

7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral neuronal cell biologist to work on a project to target calcium channels in Parkinson’s disease. The project, funded by the Michael J Fox Foundation and in collaboration with Lario Therapeutics, represents an exciting opportunity to undertake translation work at the interface between academic research and pharmaceutical target and drug discovery in an exceptional setting. This work will develop new inhibitors of calcium channels as a neuroprotective strategy to protect vulnerable dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s working with induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived dopamine neurons generated from Parkinson’s patients.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A large, international, collaborative Research Centre, focused on using genomic methodologies to develop therapies for rare genetic disorders, has recently received substantial funding. A position is available for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate with expertise in bioinformatics to join the research groups led by Prof Stephan Sanders and A/Prof Carlo Rinaldi at the University of Oxford. These two groups focus on genetic causes of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders with the goal of developing cutting-edge genetic therapies for these disorders with bench-to-bedside programs that include bioinformatics, functional genomics, therapeutic development, stem cell modelling, and clinical trials. Both labs have clinical expertise and work closely with families and individuals affected by rare genetic disorders.

9. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The objectives of UK Brain BioLink are to respond to the MRCs/UKRIs call to conduct a pilot project that establishes proof-of-principle for a national, science- and technology-led infrastructure that facilitates rapid access to high-quality, well characterised human biosamples and data for translational and basic neuroscience research in line with the priorities of the MRC’s Neurosciences and Mental Health Board. The project will allow researchers to share tissue samples and pool resources. This will ensure valuable samples get maximum use for maximum scientific benefit. You will be responsible for developing innovative tissue preservation methods for high quality live nervous system tissues and the distribution of them nationally.
Application Deadline: 09-Aug-2024

16. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The arms race at the plant-pathogen interface is a fascinating field of biology that can deliver important new strategies for crop protection. Within this ERC-funded project, we used chemical proteomics to discover secreted plant proteins of Nicotiana benthamiana that are manipulated by Pseudomonas syringae during infection (e.g. Sueldo et al., New Phytol. 2024) and used artificial intelligence (e.g. Homma et al., Nat. Comm 2023) to predict pathogen proteins that might be responsible for this manipulation. This project aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underpinning extracellular manipulation of the host during infection. You will use co-immunoprecipitation to verify predicted protein-protein interactions and establish enzymatic assays and activity-based labelling to demonstrate the effect of target manipulation. You will use reverse genetics to deplete the components from both plant and pathogen to demonstrate their importance in pathogen virulence and plant immunity.
Application Deadline: 02-Aug-2024
17. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Germline Genomics laboratory led by Dr Anjali Hinch at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford. The laboratory uses a combination of statistical, computational, and experimental approaches to understand how processes in our cells lead to changes in their DNA. These changes include errors (mutations) or shuffling up of chromosomes (recombination) in human eggs and sperm, which lead to genetic alterations that may be inherited by future generations.
