King’s College London, Pharmaceutical Research Division

Large-scale expression studies of operon-arranged genes in C. elegans[/b]

A postdoctoral research associate post is available to start immediately on a Wellcome Trust-funded project, joint with Leeds University (Hope Lab), to investigate, using recombineering-generated (Dolphin & Hope [2006] NAR 34:e72), fosmid-derived, multiply-labeled fluorescent protein fusion reporter constructs, the presence and extent of autonomously-acting regulatory elements within C. elegans operons. The project includes a core element designed to develop large-scale, high-throughput, automated reporter production to which both postdoctoral associates (London & Leeds) will contribute.

If you are highly motivated with an excellent track record and firm grounding in worm biology and genetics and would like to work next to London’s vibrant cultural South Bank the post is available immediately and is funded for 36 months.
