Job Description:
We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on a BBSRC funded project linking metabolism to ageing and chromatin. This position is for a candidate with training in computational biology and bioinformatics and experience of applying these skills to a biological problem. You will work as part of vibrant research group focusing on gene expression and its control, and will work collaboratively with a full time bench scientist. The aim of this project is to enhance our fundamental understanding of gene expression, how it is regulated by metabolism and how dysregulation of this link can lead to premature ageing. To achieve this, synchronised yeast cells with different metabolic and chromatin states will be used to study gene expression, specifically nascent transcription, transcript levels, transcript location, nascent translation and the proteome. In addition to data analysis and iterative experimental design, you will also have the opportunity to work closely with mathematical modellers in the Department of Biochemistry. Applicants should possess a PhD, or expect to obtain soon a PhD in a relevant subject area. You are expected to have one or more publications in refereed journals, as well as excellent written and oral communication skills. You should be able to show evidence of using your computational biology skills in data analysis, and have extensive experience of using a range of data analysis packages applied to the analysis of large data sets. You should also have an ability to write code for bespoke analysis of large data sets, along with experience of MATLAB and the R/Bioconductor package, and evidence of excellent team working skills. There is also another position available in this lab, and you may see vacancy number 127804, to view the role.

This full-time fixed-term post is funded by the BBSRC for up to 30 months. Further particulars, including details of how to apply, can be obtained from the document below. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 24 March 2017, with interviews for shortlisted candidates to be held as soon as possible thereafter. https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=127780[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
