A 2 year funded postdoctoral position is available for a highly motivated scientist in the field of RNA biology at Neurotranscriptomics Laboratory within the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney.
Our work focuses on the role of alternative splicing, and other post-transcriptional mechanisms, in expanding gene and protein function. We are particularly interested in understanding how phenotypic complexity can arise during evolution, as well as how post-transcriptional regulation control neuronal function. We tackle these areas of interest using a multidisciplinary approach combining biochemistry, molecular biology, high-resolution microscopy, genomics and bioinformatics. For details see
