2024 BNA Scholars announced
15th March 2024
We are looking for a talented, passionate and creative post-doctoral researcher to investigate mechanisms of morphogenesis in the mouse embryo. The lab applies high-resolution time-lapse imaging and quantitative analysis of embryo development, in concert with a variety of techniques for uncovering and modulating gene expression.
Recently the lab developed a unique method for culturing mouse and human embryos that recapitulates the main events occurring during and after implantation (Bedzhov and Zernicka-Goetz, Cell 2014 Shahbazi et al, Nature Cell Biology, 2016). This method allows us to study morphogenesis and the interactions between distinct stem cell populations as the embryo is built.
The successful candidate should have a PhD in developmental, cellular or molecular biology or biophysics. The following skills are very important: Either advanced live embryo microscopy and image analysis or model building and computational biology.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance with a possibility to extend.
Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a security check and health assessment.
