Postdoctoral Researcher (Ding Group): The John Innes Centre is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join Dr. Ding’s group. The researcher will focus on studying the role of in vivo RNA structure in diverse RNA biological processes. This is a full-time, 3-year contract position with a competitive salary range of £33,050 – £40,750 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Biology or Chemistry
Location: John Innes Centre, Norwich Research Park, Norwich, NR4 7UH, United Kingdom
Eligibility/Qualification: The ideal candidate should hold a Ph.D. (full award or expected within 6 months) or equivalent in Biology or Chemistry. A strong background in biology and/or chemistry is required. Experience in transcriptome study, regulation of gene expression, RNA biology, and plant genetics is desirable but not essential.
Job Description: The Postdoctoral Researcher will work within the Ding Group to investigate the functional roles of RNA structure in various RNA biological processes. The researcher will develop advanced methods for profiling RNA structure and supervise master’s and Ph.D. students on their projects. Collaboration with dry-bench lab members in designing and validating RNA structure functionality in plants is also expected.
The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team at the John Innes Centre, focusing on genome-wide in vivo RNA structure analysis, individual RNA structure characterization, biological function analysis, and associated bioinformatics analysis.
