We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc candidate to lead an innovative research project that integrates kinetochore biology with neuroscience. This project builds on the pioneering discoveries made by the Cheerambathur Lab on the novel roles of kinetochore proteins in brain development and explores how the chromosome segregation machinery is reutilized in post-mitotic neurons to construct and repair neural circuits.

Our research shows that kinetochore proteins, traditionally known for segregating chromosomes during cell division, serve as critical cytoplasmic regulators of neuronal cytoskeleton — impacting dendrite patterning, axonal guidance and synaptogenesis, and neuronal regeneration (Cheerambathur et al., Ouzounidis et al., Domingos et al.). By leveraging the well-established neuronal model, C. elegans as a primary discovery tool and translating key findings to more complex vertebrate neural circuits, we aim to uncover the unknown functions of kinetochores in these major neuronal processes.

The Opportunity:

We specialize in integrating multi-disciplinary approaches, combining the latest in genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry to unravel the mechanistic underpinnings of neuronal processes. Importantly, this position offers a unique opportunity to develop an independent research program in a very novel area of biology, focusing on how the kinetochore and the cytoskeleton interact to influence major neurodevelopmental processes across various organisms.

We welcome applicants from diverse academic backgrounds. Candidates with technical and scientific experience in the areas of cell biology and neuroscience are especially encouraged to apply.

The start date is flexible, and funding is through a recently awarded 7-year Wellcome Trust grant. Requests for informal enquiries should be sent to Dr. Dhanya Cheerambathur (dhanya.cheerambathur@ed.ac.uk). Please include a clear and concise statement outlining your motivation for joining our lab and how you envision contributing to our research team.

Your skills and attributes for success:

Strong motivation to contribute to a novel area of cell biology and neurobiology.
Strong organizational, communication and critical thinking skills.

Full time: 35 hours per week
Fixed Term: for one year (1st March 2025 – 28th February 2026)

We are seeking a highly motivated and dedicated research assistant to join an innovative project investigating the novel roles of kinetochore proteins in brain development. This project builds on a pioneering discovery made by the Cheerambathur Lab, which revealed that kinetochore proteins, traditionally known for their role in chromosome segregation during cell division, also have a cell division-independent function during neurodevelopment.

The Opportunity:

As a member of our multidisciplinary research team, you will have the unique opportunity to work with a diverse range of model systems, including C. elegans and in vitro mammalian cell cultures, and employ cutting-edge techniques in genetics, fluorescence microscopy, quantitative image analysis and biochemistry. This is a fantastic opportunity for candidates who are eager to expand their expertise and to thrive in a stimulating and inclusive academic environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. You will have access to a wealth of resources, including training courses and conferences, to support your growth as a scientist and work on your own professional development.

Candidates with a degree in cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, or neuroscience and knowledge or experience in cell culture and/or biochemical techniques are strongly encouraged to apply.

The start date for this position is flexible and will be funded through a Wellcome Trust grant. Requests for informal enquiries should be sent to Dr. Dhanya Cheerambathur (dhanya.cheerambathur@ed.ac.uk).

Your skills and attributes for success:

Strong motivation to learn new skills and collaborate effectively within a team.
Excellent time management, communication, and organizational skills, with meticulous attention to detail.
Proficiency in standard molecular biology techniques.
Knowledge of biochemistry and/or experience with cell culture (mammalian cells) or model organisms is a plus.
