Postdoctoral Fellowship, Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, Department of Medical Genetics, UK
Job Description: Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation/Wellcome Trust Diabetes and Inflammation Laboratory
Functional analyses of novel genes in diabetes and autoimmune disease
A unique and exciting research opportunity has arisen for a post-doctoral researcher in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation/Wellcome Trust Diabetes and Inflammation Laboratory owing to the recent and very rapid progress in discovering genes with polymorphisms that determine susceptibility to type 1 diabetes, one of the most common chronic diseases of children.
We are keen to identify a researcher who wants to make a difference, and can apply a range of skills in gene expression and function at the molecular cellular and whole organism level, across disciplines.
You will need a first class publication record from your PhD such that you would be highly competitive for a personal fellowship.
The position would be available in John Todd’s laboratory, in collaboration with Linda Wicker and David Clayton, with world-class facilities and interactions in the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (http://www.cimr.cam.ac.uk/ ) and the University for functional analyses, including allele-specific gene expression, multicolour flow cytometry and access to blood donors and patients (Dendrou, C., et al., 2009, Nature Genetics 41, 1011-1015). Our specific aim is to correlate disease-associated genotype with phenotype in order to investigate the pathways that determine development of type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.
Persons interested in applying for this position on a post-doctoral fellowship from the appropriate agency are encouraged to contact John Todd on john.todd@cimr.cam.ac.uk.
Closing date: 31 August 2010.
