MRC Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease LMS 2483

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences – Genomic Variation and Disease Group

(3 Years fixed term)

Salary: £39,375 plus London allowances (£3,913 & £1,472) per annum* 

A 3-year postdoctoral position is available at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) to work in the Genomic Variation and Disease Group headed by Doctor Lila Allou. The LMS is a world-class research laboratory where scientists and clinicians collaborate to advance the understanding of biology and its application to medicine. Funded by the MRC as part of UK Research and Innovation, the LMS has a collaborative working culture and a new state-of-the-art building based in the heart of West London in the Hammersmith Hospital Campus.

The Genomic Variation and Disease Group works at the intersection of medical genetics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology to explore the mechanisms underlying human diseases. The group uses CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and synthetic genomics for mouse or human genome rewriting to model disease-causing chromosomal structural variants (SVs) and study their functional consequences. Our challenge is understanding how this type of genomic variation affects molecular and cellular processes to influence organismal phenotypes. 

We are looking for a talented postdoctoral scientist with a background in molecular biology to join our team. As a key member, you will be part of our collaborative effort to explore novel SV-associated disease mechanisms. Your work will involve generating in vitro (cellular differentiation) and/or in vivo mouse models to investigate the molecular consequences of SVs impacting the noncoding genome. 

At our newly established lab, we are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where people of all backgrounds can thrive. We value diversity and collaboration and focus on conducting cutting-edge basic and translational science. We provide extensive on-the-job training as needed for the projects. At the LMS, we also offer excellent mentoring and support to help you reach your career goals. As a post holder, you will have the opportunity to work with an extensive network of collaborators, attend scientific conferences, and publish the results of your work in leading journals.
