Postdoctoral Fellowship

Noncoding RNAs in B lymphocyte biology

We are offering a 3 year postdoctoral position to work on the roles of non-coding RNAs in B lymphocyte development, survival and function. The work will involve immunology, RNAseq, computational biology, and mouse genetics. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology or immunology. Previous experience in the analysis of RNAseq or transcriptomic datasets would be an advantage. We particularly encourage applications from candidates with proven knowledge of bioinformatic or computational techniques who wish to combine both “dry” and “wet” science.

This is a 3 year MRC-funded Career Development Fellowship (CDF) which is a training and development position for junior post-doctoral scientists. The position would be based in the laboratory of Victor Tybulewicz in the Division of Immune Cell Biology at the MRC National Institute for Medical Research, London.

Situated in Mill Hill, North West London, the National Institute for Medical Research is the largest MRC institute, supporting some 70 research groups and 500 bench scientists. The Institute provides excellent training for researchers in a multi-disciplinary environment and is equipped with state of the art facilities. http://www.nimr.mrc.ac.uk/employment/
