A full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral position at The Francis Crick Institute based in cell biology or developmental biology.
Project Information
Their lab’s main objective is to investigate how functioning organs are constructed to support life throughout embryonic development. This is a longstanding topic in biology that has important ramifications for both birth abnormalities and tissue engineering. They employ the growing zebrafish heart, a well-suited model system that is accessible to cutting-edge photonic, biophysical, and genetic manipulations, to answer this basic dilemma. By combining techniques from tissue mechanics, developmental genetics, transcriptomics, biophysics, and predictive theoretical modelling, they use a systems biology approach. By applying these methods, we are able to analyse in great detail the morphogenesis of an intricate organ such as the heart within the physiological framework of a living embryo.
Requirements
- In addition to being a strong team player and eager to pursue joint research, the interested applicant should make it apparent in their application why they are interested in the lab’s research program.
- PhD in cell biology or developmental biology or in the final stages of PhD submission.
- Strong expertise in advanced confocal and/or light sheet imaging.
- Strong expertise in quantitative image analysis approaches.
- Excellent molecular biology skills.
- Strong interest and experience in using interdisciplinary approaches in their research program
