We are pleased to announce a call for applications for a post-doctoral researcher
position in the lab of Professor Jonathan Chubb in the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology (
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lmcb/users/jonathan-chubb). To understand how cells decide their fates, during development and reprogramming, the lab develops and implements powerful new technologies to directly monitor gene activity in single cells (eLife e13051, Curr Biol 27:1811-17,
PNAS 115:8364-8369). This position is an ideal platform for developing an independent research career in a rapidly expanding sector of the life sciences.
Candidates are expected to be exceptional, highly motivated scientists with a strong
track record of research in a relevant area of the life sciences. We will also consider applicants with a PhD in physics or engineering with a strong interest in biology.
Work will be carried out at the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/LMCB/. The LMCB is a focal point for molecular, cell and tissue biology in the UK and is situated in the main UCL campus, in the heart of central London.
The position is available to start from 1st November 2019 until 31st October 2021
initially. The appointment will be on UCL Grade 7, with a starting salary on Grade 7 of £35,328 to £42,701 p.a. inclusive per annum. If the PhD has not yet been awarded, the appointment will be made at Research Assistant Grade 6B (salary
