英国爱丁堡大学博士后职位招聘–细胞生物学、生物化学、生物物理学、结构生物学和/或数学建模方向
We are looking for two highly motivated scientists to join our group to understand the mechanism of chromosome segregation in the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The aim of the project is to characterise one or more kinetoplastid kinetochore proteins in Trypanosoma brucei using a variety of techniques including cell biology, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology and/or mathematical modelling.
The Opportunity:
The successful candidates will join a group led by Dr Bungo Akiyoshi at the Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology at the University of Edinburgh, and will use a variety of techniques to characterise unconventional kinetoplastid kinetochores.
