The School of Life Sciences has been fully committed to the principals of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) since 2013. In assessing applicants, we consider the scientific quality of their published research papers, but do not take into account where the papers were published and do not consider journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors.

The diversity of our staff and students helps to make the University of Dundee a UK university of choice for undergraduate, postgraduate and distance learning. Family friendly policies, staff networks for BME, Disabled and LGBT staff, membership of Athena SWAN, the ECU Race Equality Charter and Stonewall as well a full range of disability services, create an enjoyable and inclusive place to work.

We are recruiting for an exceptional individual to join us as a Postdoctoral Researcher within The Stanley-Wall Laboratory, Molecular Microbiology, School of Life Sciences, with experience in bacterial genetics, transcriptions and/or microscopy (https://www.dundee.ac.uk/people/nicola-stanley-wall). This is a fixed-term appointment for up to 42 months.

We investigate mechanisms underpinning Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation and conduct interdisciplinary studies combining classical molecular genetics, microbiology, and soft matter physics.

We aim to uncover key regulatory mechanisms underpinning Bacillus subtilis biofilm matrix remodelling, function, resilience, and competitiveness, that direct the ability of this organism to occupy a wide range of environmental niches. The successful applicants will exploit recent findings to uncover the molecular processes driving adaptation of the biofilm matrix and the impact for the function and success of the bacteria in different environments.

The project builds on our published work (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36528619/; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34486975/). You will be part of a collaborative research project with colleagues based at the University of Edinburgh (Prof. Cait MacPhee and Dr. Ryan Morris).

The appointment as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant on the Grade 7 salary scale is dependent upon you having been awarded a PhD. An appointment may be considered if you are shortly expected to be awarded a PhD. In this case, the initial appointment would be made as a Research Assistant on the Training Grade 7 salary scale (Spinal Point 25 - 28).

To apply, please submit a single PDF file that contains:

• A cover letter that outlines your research interests and career goals, alongside a summary highlighting your expertise in microbial genetics and gene expression analysis.
• A curriculum vitae containing a list of publications and/or preprints with a brief description of your contribution to each piece of work.

It is intended that interviews for short listed candidates will be held on the 18th and/or 19th of November 2024.

Your priorities will include:

• Transcriptomic analysis of Bacillus subtilis biofilms in different environmental context
• Analysis of B. subtilis survival and adaptation to different contexts
• Engaging members of the public in our research

Who we're looking for:

Successful candidates will have a strong background in bacterial genetics, ideally with expertise in transcriptomics and/or microscopy. You should be creative, enthusiastic to solve challenging problems, be a team player, be equipped with excellent communication skills and have an awareness of working in a positive research culture.

Candidates are expected to have expertise in:

• Molecular biology, bacteriology
• Transcriptomic analysis

And/or

• Flow cytometry
• Microscopy
• Knowledge of biofilm formation Additional desired skills are:
• Undergraduate student supervision in laboratory settings
• Tutoring undergraduates

CAKIR

We are recruiting for an exceptional individual to join as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the laboratory of Dr Arpan Mehta. This is a fixed-term appointment for 18 months, with potential extension at the end of the term.

We are recruiting for a driven individual to join the laboratory of Dr Arpan Mehta, a clinician-scientist, with expertise in cell biology and/or gene-editing to conduct an innovative pooled CRISPR screen in human motor neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. The overarching goal of the lab is to undertake fundamental research to understand the molecular basis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a form of motor neuron disease (MND), through open and interdisciplinary collaborations within and outwith of our unit.

The successful applicant will undertake a project as part of the MND Accelerator (MNDAcc) initiative funded by the Medical Research Council and National Institute for Health and Care Research to make the translation of discoveries into therapeutics easier for motor neuron disease and frontotemporal dementia. The goal is to make robust discoveries and share data openly in the space of 18 months.

Your priorities will include:

• Build C9ORF72-iCas9 iPS cell line and perform quality control followed by differentiation to motor neurons and microglia using published protocols.
• Optimise and perform a kinome-wide CRSIPR/Cas9 knock out-screen and sgRNA enrichment analysis.
• Validate the top candidate hits and create a CROP-seq library in partnership with UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) single-cell facility.
• Public and patient involvement and engagement presentations.
• Dissemination of protocols and data openly and through formal peer-reviewed publications.
• Advising and mentoring undergraduate and PhD students.

Candidate requirements:

• PhD in molecular biology with a track record of academic success.

• Highly organised, motivated and meticulous, with an ability to work independently and to drive a project forwards robustly and at pace.
• Expertise in iPS cell culture is highly desirable, although the successful candidate would be supported and trained (if necessary) by Dr Lindsay Davidson who leads our iPSC core facility.
• Prior experience in gene editing and CRISPR screens would be highly desirable.

We are one of the UK's leading universities, internationally recognised for our expertise across a range of disciplines and research breakthroughs in multiple areas, including science, medicine and engineering, amongst many others. Our purpose is to transform lives, locally and globally, which we do as a community of staff (Professional Services and academic Schools), students and alumni. Professional Services directorates are key to delivering the University strategy and driving change across the University.
