A talented and creative researcher in the field of evolutionary developmental biology is sought to take part in a highly interdisciplinary and international project funded by the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP). We aim to understand the role of gene family expansions in the evolution of novel complex traits in molluscs. Our approach will use a combination of state-of-the-art techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene knock-out and single cell technologies, to understand the functional role of specific genes in mollusc shell development. We are particularly interested in studying a class of receptors called pattern recognition receptors (PRR). The project offered will involve: (i) analysing single cell RNAseq atlases to determine the cell type expression specificity of PRR genes, (ii) assessing the spatial expression of PRR genes in developmental stages of molluscs using HCR in situ hybridisations and, (iii) CRISPR-Cas9 gene knock-out functional analysis of specific PRR genes.

Job Description

We are seeking a talented individual who is motivated to understand how embryos develop and how developmental processes evolve. Since the project will involve experimental embryology and bioinformatic techniques, it is essential to have at least some experience in both experimental work and bioinformatic data analysis (preferably of single cell data). An ideal candidate would have a PhD, or postdoctoral experience, in developmental biology or evolutionary developmental biology (this includes PhD students who are near completion and will have sustained a PhD degree by the start date). However, excellent candidates from a wide range of disciplines are encouraged to apply – provided they can evidence enthusiasm and commitment to learning about evolutionary developmental biology.

Salary will be at Grade 6, in the range of £38,784 - £46,049 per annum, commensurate with experience.
