Additional Info:
The Ding Laboratory investigates the role of RNA structure in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. We are also exploring how to interpret the RNA structure probing data from the deep sequencing technique. We developed two novel and powerful platforms to study RNA structure in vivo and across diverse species at both the genome-wide scale (Structure-Seq). These breakthroughs have removed technological barriers and opened up new avenues for RNA biology research. Our lab utilises multidisciplinary knowledge and approaches in areas of nucleic acid chemistry, RNA biology and bioinformatics (data mining).

Salary on appointment will be within the range £30,750 to £37,750 per annum depending on qualifications and experience. This post is for a contract of 2 years.
