Research Department of Genetics, Evolution & Environment
Full Time
UCL reference number 1284961
The appointment will be on UCL Grade 7. The salary range will be ?32,055? per annum , inclusive of London Allowance.
Duties and Responsibilities
The UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing (Director: Professor Linda Partridge FRS FMedSci) is an interdisciplinary centre of excellence for research on the biology of ageing and ageing-related diseases.? For further information on the IHA, please see www.ucl.ac.uk/iha
We are seeking 3 post-doctoral workers to join a large interdisciplinary team investigating mechanisms of ageing in nematode worms, the fruitfly Drosophila and the mouse. The work is focussed on understanding how nutrient-sensing pathways control ageing, and the nature of the ageing process itself. These appointments will be primarily for work with C. elegans, in the laboratory of Prof. David Gems. Work will include genetic and genomic approaches, pharmacological manipulation of key molecules. The posts are funded by a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award for Biology of Ageing.
All three positions are for 60 months, in the first instance, with a proposed start date of 1 January 2013.
Key Requirements
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant area, such as genetics or biochemistry, and experience of C. elegans genetics and/or ageing is desirable. A good knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology with a special focus on signalling pathways and transcriptional control is essential.
