A postdoctoral scientist position is available in Prof Michael Ardern-Jones’ group in Skin Research, Clinical & Experimental Sciences (CES), Faculty of Medicine, University of Southampton (UoS).

A unique aspect of this post is that the successful applicant will be provided full training and support to develop their skills in bioinformatic analysis with a particular focus on epigenetic analysis including ATAC-seq. This component will be led by Assoc Prof Andres Vallejo Pulido, who also teaches on Cold Spring Harbour Bioinformatics courses.

Therefore, we especially welcome applications from enthusiastic candidates with some prior experience of a molecular laboratory, but with a keen interest and willingness to learn advanced bioinformatics.

We offer an exciting and stimulation work environment with local and international scientific collaborations. The skin research group in CES and the Southampton. The position will be based in the Wellcome Trust laboratory.

Besides a great research environment, Southampton and its surrounding provide a beautiful place to live.
