MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit
New regulators of DNA repair
Career Development Fellow: Band 4 (£25,622 - £31,358)
Applications are invited for two MRC Career Development Fellowship in the lab of Dr John Rouse to carry out cutting edge, multidisciplinary research on how cells cope with DNA damage. We recently identified several important new regulators of genome stability. Some of these were published recently (for example Molecular Cell 35, 116-127; Cell 138, 20-22) but some have not yet been published. We are now looking for bright, enthusiastic individuals to join our team to study these new proteins, and underlying mechanisms in mammalian cells and to understand how these proteins relate to human disease. Applicants should have recently obtained a PhD or should expect to obtain a PhD in the near future, and will have experience in the fields of cell and molecular biology. The successful applicant will have an outstanding academic track record and have published at least one first authored paper in a prominent journal. The position is available immediately.
The appointment will be made on the MRC Band 4 salary scale plus superannuation with initial placement depending on achievements and experience.
This contract is for a fixed term period of 3 years.
The MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit is a major international centre for research on cell signalling. Research funding to the Unit is one of the highest in the UK and its innovative collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry (The Division of Signal Transduction Therapy) received a Queen’s Anniversary Award in 2006. For further information consult the Unit’s website: (http://www.ppu.mrc.ac.uk/).
Applications for this role must be made online at http://jobs.mrc.ac.uk. Please include a CV and a list of publications. If you do not have internet access or experience technical difficulties, please call 01793 301049, quoting reference number PPU09/341.
Closing date: December 15 2009
