We are looking for an experienced, imaginative and creative cell/developmental biologist or physiologist, educated to PhD level, to work on a project seeking evidence for automatic error-correcting mechanisms in mammalian development.
The Opportunity:
This is an opportunity to conduct ground-breaking research on a neglected question in development: how do error-prone micro-mechanisms achieve predictable results? IN our favourite model, developing kidney, we have pilot data for the existence of several error-correcting mechanisms. You will build on this work, subjecting it to rigorous testing. All work will be in organ culture (no in vivo experiments), but it will use tissues from freshly killed wild-type mice and the post-holder would need to be happy with this.
