The Chung Lab at the University of Cambridge, Department of Pathology is seeking a Post-doctoral Research Associate to dissect the detailed molecular mechanisms of novel translational sensors that we recently discovered that drive rapid translational responses during host:bacterial interactions (see our recent work on the discovery of plant RNA ThermoSwitches: PMID 32284544, PMID 33855112 and PMID 36092413). The successful candidate will utilise a mixture of RNA technologies such as in vitro translation, single molecule RNA FRET, and cryoEM, etc to investigate the influence of environmental triggers on novel regulatory elements. The successful candidate will be the lead scientist in driving this BBSRC-funded research program and will have the opportunity to make significant contributions to the field.CLOSE 4 APRIL
The Chung Lab at the University of Cambridge, Department of Pathology is seeking a Post-doctoral Research Associate to work on a research project focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying rapid translational responses that occur during host:bacterial interactions. This post is to pioneer our plant:bacteria translational response program: specifically, to tease apart host responses specific to penetration of the bacterial injectisome from innate immune responses, through the use of genetic mutants and ribosome profiling (see our recent work on using this technology for the discovery of plant RNA ThermoSwitches: PMID 32284544, and the revelation of miRNA-mediated translational regulation in plants: PMID 28970560). Good molecular biology background essential. Bioinformatic skills are preferred but not essential. CLOSE 21 MARCH
