Are you looking to develop your professional skills and be a key contributor to a cell biology project? Do you have experience in molecular and cellular biology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities?

Based in state-of-the-art laboratory space, and under the supervision ofDr. Natalia Riobo-Del Galdoyou will contribute to ground-breaking research aiming to understand the mechanistic basis of Hedgehog signalling in autophagy and its role in cancer.

The proposed research will use mammalian and bacterial cell cultures, confocal imaging, overexpression and silencing of proteins, protein and nucleic acid extraction and analysis by western blotting and qRT-PCR and sequencing. You will work closely with a postdoctoral fellow and will be a key contributor to the overall success of our research. In addition, you will perform essential lab duties and develop training and supervision experience to other members of the lab.
