Job Details

Under the guidance of Professor Sebastian Guettler, we are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Training Fellow to investigate the molecular mechanisms of tankyrase regulation and function, building on recent insights from structural and genetic studies.

The post would be particularly suitable for a candidate seeking to apply cellular biochemistrymammalian genetics (CRISPR) and light microscopy (including live-cell imaging) to investigate the function and mechanism of tankyrase in various cellular roles, particularly Wnt/beta-catenin signalling and telomere maintenance. The position will offer a stimulating balance of independence and collaboration. 

About you

The successful candidate must have:

  • a PhD in a biological science
  • solid experience in recombinant DNA techniques and mammalian genetics (CRISPR)
  • solid experience in mammalian cell biology and cellular biochemistry
  • evidence of contributing to research publications

Candidates who are nearing completion of their PhD may apply, but confirmation on an awarded PhD is required within 6 months of employment.

The ICR has a workforce agreement stating that Postdoctoral Training Fellows can only be employed for up to 7 years as PDTF at the ICR, providing total postdoctoral experience (including previous employment at this level elsewhere) does not exceed 7 years.

For general information on Postdocs at The ICR, more information can be found here

Department/Directorate Information

Work in the Structural Biology of Cell Signalling Team, led by Professor Sebastian Guettler, in the ICR Divisions of Structural Biology and Cell and Molecular Biology, centres on the molecular mechanisms of Wnt/beta-catenin signalling and telomere maintenance, both of which play key roles in stem cells and a wide range of cancers. A core interest of the team is to understand how ADP-ribosylation, a complex and extremely versatile post-translational modification, controls both these systems, and how ADP-ribosyltransferases are themselves regulated. 

What we offer

  • A dynamic and supportive research environment
  • Access to state-of-the-art facilities and professional development opportunities
  • Collaboration with leading researchers in the field
  • Competitive salary and pension
