Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine at the King’s College London, seeking a Research Associate for the tyrosine phosphatases regulate cell signalling project.
Project Information
The designated researcher will concentrate on putative phosphatases that have been shown to control actin dynamics when the poxvirus vaccine is present. What are the main interactors of these phosphatases, how do they detect substrates, and what effects do they have on the dynamics and outputs of signalling? Contextualising these results in uninfected cells and, with a collaborator’s assistance, in additional viral infections is the overarching objective. Utilising and expanding upon a vaccine virus-based signalling platform, the chosen researcher will also make use of state-of-the-art optogenetics and molecular counting instruments in the lab. Although not required, prior knowledge of biochemistry, microscopy, cell signalling, or phosphatase biology is preferred.
