Short Introduction/Summary

This is an exciting role at a fresh and pioneering biomedical research institute, dedicated to innovation and science. We are looking for a highly motivated and adaptable cell biologist.

You will be highly skilled in the use of live cell imaging techniques and quantitative fluorescence microscopy. You will also be comfortable handling large imaging datasets and performing automated analysis of these using various open source and commercial software. You will be highly competent with the use of computers and technology, and have at least some experience of programming and scripting languages such as Java and R.

The Francis Crick Institute (the Crick) is a registered charity whose purpose is to conduct biomedical research into all aspects of human health and disease. Dedicated to research excellence, the institute will be a world-leading centre of biomedical research and innovation.

Project Scope/ Description

The project will focus on using novel real-time fluorescent reporters to simultaneously track 24 hour transcriptional oscillations and metabolic oscillations (e.g. hydrogen peroxide, NAD/NADH) in cells and organotypic slice culture systems. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, relevant genes will be knocked out (or point mutations made) to allow mechanistic determination of links between transcriptional and metabolic processes. Some experiments will also focus on non-transcriptional oscillations in non-nucleated cells (red blood cells).
