Postdoc position in cell/developmental biology at Imperial College London

A post-doc position is available in the department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London (South Kensington campus). Successful applicants will work in a newly established C. elegans group led by Dr. Michalis Barkoulas and investigate the developmental mechanisms and evolution of phenotypic robustness.

The Post-doc position is available initially for three years, with a starting date as of June 1st, 2014. The successful applicant will use the epithelial seam cells as a model and employ genetics, imaging and next-generation sequencing technologies to study developmental robustness. The applicant should be highly motivated, enthusiastic, and have demonstrable ability to produce work of excellent quality. Candidates should have a strong background in developmental biology or evolutionary genetics. Familiarity with bioinformatics and sequencing data analysis would be a strong advantage. Previous experience in C. elegans genetics and techniques is preferred, but not required.

To get more information, full job description and learn how to apply please send a full CV including contact details of two referees to m.barkoulas@imperial.ac.uk. The position will remain open until filled. However applicants available to start before September 2014 will be given priority.
