Six Postdoctoral Scientist positions are available to join a Wellcome Trust-funded project in the laboratories of Jason Chin and Julian Sale at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) to create human cells harbouring a synthetic genome; this project builds on the recent landmark creation of E. coli with a recoded, synthetic genome (Fredens et al. Nature 2019).

We are looking for highly motivated individuals holding a PhD in a relevant area (or who have recently submitted their doctoral thesis), who exhibit a high degree of independence and are able to work collaboratively towards the overall goals of the project. Areas of expertise required for the positions include: genetic manipulation and recombineering of bacteria and microbial hosts, the culture and genetic manipulation of mammalian cells, CRISPR/Cas9 assisted recombination, and computational analysis and prediction from genomic data.

The MRC LMB has excellent scientific core facilities and training opportunities.
