The earlier post was just a selection. The advert from Biological Sciences
is attached, for these areas:
Epigenetics and genome function
We seek to recruit researchers who will investigate how epigenetic
information modulates genome function. Research areas of interest include
the impact of epigenetics on gene expression and the manipulation of
epigenetic mechanisms genetically and pharmacologically to uncover potential
therapeutic approaches to disease.
Synthetic biology and biotechnology
We seek researchers with a strong interdisciplinary background and research
interests in using protein, metabolic or morphological engineering to create
industrial or agricultural products, manipulate large systems with complex
regulation, and engineer complex host organisms.
Infection biology, evolutionary medicine and global health
We seek researchers with an interest in applying understanding of
host-pathogen interactions and immune/infection biology to the development
of directed strategies for infection control at the individual level and
within populations. Particular areas of interest include the intestinal
commensal/pathogen interface, infection/metabolism interactions, population
genomics of pathogens, mycobacterial diseases and bacterial antibiotic
resistance.
Stem cell biology
We seek researchers whose primary interest is in the fundamental biology of
stem cells, in particular those with interests in molecular regulation of
tissue-specific stem cells, including stem cell-niche interactions, and
transcriptional, epigenetic and cell cycle regulation. Applications from
scientists working on stem cells and cancer stem cells in homeostasis,
regeneration and ageing, in mammalian and non-mammalian model organisms are
particularly encouraged.
