School of Biological Sciences / Institute of Cell Biology
Full time: 35 hours per week
Fixed Term: for 1 year (1st March 2025 – 28th February 2026)

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.
Command of standard techniques in molecular biology and cell culture (mammalian cells) and/model organisms.
Expertise & training in one or more of the following: cell biology, live-cell and quantitative fluorescence microscopy, quantitative image analysis, electron microscopy, biochemical methods, genome engineering, mass spectrometry and data handling.
A publication record is strongly desired.

Grade UE06: £33,882 to £39,105 per annum
School of Biological Sciences / Institute of Cell Biology
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.

Let us introduce you to Annie:

Annie lives in her own flat in Edinburgh and is supported to live independently.

Annie enjoys watching a variety of sports on TV including tennis, athletics, rugby, to name a few. She also enjoys going to Edinburgh and Scotland home rugby games with her stepdad. She regularly visits the local library to get both printed and audio books and frequently enjoys visits to the nearby Sainsbury's for shopping and bargains!

Annie is a lovely young woman who loves spending time with her PA's, she likes to chat and have a laugh with her staff. Annie has a wicked sense of humour and would like her staff to have a good sense of humour also.

Annie likes watching the news, movies and a variety of other programmes, particularly on Netflix and Disney, and she likes to talk about these. Christmas time is her favourite time of the year as she loves the atmosphere and of course Christmas movies which she tries to resist watching from September but usually fails. Music is also a particular interest of hers and she especially likes pop and rock and will enjoy watching music videos on her TV or computer.

Annie needs a dedicated team around her who are compassionate and person centred and who will respect her wishes. Annie would like a team who enjoys supporting her in these interests and be able to make her feel happy and safe whilst enabling her to live her best life! If this is you, we would love to hear from you.

That is why Annie needs you! Will you bring your best so that Annie can live her best live?
