The MRC Human Genetics Unit

Applications should be made by 16 January 2009

Has vacancies in the areas of computational biology and gene expression in the Biomedical Systems Analysis (BSA) and Chromosomes & Gene Expression (CGE) Sections. The BSA section is an exciting new grouping in the IGMM encompassing groups active in computational genomics, complex trait analysis, population studies and systems-based approaches to understanding developmental genetic networks.

The CGE section comprises established and new groups investigating; chromatin structure, mechanisms of gene regulation at the levels of transcription and RNA processing, post-translational protein modification and germ cell development. We are seeking to recruit outstanding independent and career-track scientists. The successful candidates are likely to be appointed at the MRC Band 3 level (salary £35,2820 - £43,614 according to experience) and will be provided with generous resources including: state of the art lab and equipment; support positions and research costs; a generous contribution to relocation expenses will be provided.

We are seeking exceptional scientists in:

 

The IGMM is an exciting development in Edinburgh led by Professor Nick Hastie, CBE FRS FRSE. It brings together the Medical Research Council's Human Genetics Unit and the University of Edinburgh's Molecular Medicine Centre and Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre.

This strategic alliance of the 3 partners, sponsored by the Medical Research Council, University of Edinburgh and Cancer Research UK, has created an unrivalled critical mass of scientists working together to identify molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying normal development, maintenance and human diseases including; malformations, late onset anomalies and cancer, with the aim of translating these findings for clinical benefit.

 

The research across the IGMM forms five scientific themes:

 

Thus creating a vibrant world class research and training environment for basic, translational and clinical science.

The IGMM has strengths in many key areas including cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, human genetics, statistical genetics, model organisms, computational biology, pathology, public health and epidemiology, and clinical trials.

The IGMM has specific opportunities for scientists in the MRC Human Genetics Unit, and research fellows throughout IGMM.
