Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the laboratory of Dr. Julie Welburn, funded by Cancer Research UK. The laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of chromosome segregation at the molecular and cellular level. The focus of our laboratory is the function and properties of microtubules in mitosis and how microtubule-binding proteins, motors and signaling molecules can utilize and modify the dynamics of microtubule subpopulations. Our laboratory use biochemical and structural approaches on mitotic complexes and molecular motors to understand their contribution to the regulation of microtubule dynamics and chromosome segregation. I am now looking for an enthusiastic and talented researcher to join our team investigating the molecular mechanisms that control microtubule-based processes in mitosis, focusing in particular on kinesins. You should have, or will shortly obtain, a PhD in a relevant subject area and will have experience in structural biology or/and biochemistry. An outstanding academic track record is essential and at least one first author publication in a prominent journal is expected. Interested candidates should email their CV and a summary of research experience/accomplishments to Julie Welburn (julie.welb...@ed.ac.uk) My lab website is: http://welburn.bio.ed.ac.uk
