Job Description:
Postdoctoral Position – CRISPR-tagging of all Drosophila transcription factors, UK
The postdoctoral researcher will lead the lab work of the project to generate a library of fly lines with endogenously tagged transcription factors. The work involves designing transgenesis constructs, molecular cloning, and generating transgenic fly strains using CRISPR knock-ins. The researcher will also perform immunostains and confocal imaging to analyze transcription factor expression patterns and perform genome-wide transcription factor binding site analysis using CUT&RUN sequencing. The work will be supported by two technical research associates. The researcher will have ample opportunities to present data at meetings, collaborate with other labs, and develop their own career.
