英国弗朗西斯克里克研究所染色体分离实验室2025年招聘博士后职位

弗朗西斯·克里克研究所（Francis Crick Institute）：2010年诺贝尔奖得主、遗传学家保罗·纳斯提议将英国伦敦两家最大的生物医学研究中心（英国国家医学研究所，英国癌症研究中心）合并在一起，建立一个巨型实验室。

2015年11月实验室将竣工，2021年，这家耗费6.5亿英镑（约63亿人民币）、占地9.3万平方米的研究所将全功率运行，将有1600位科学家和工作人员在这里工作，它将成为欧洲最大的单一生物医学实验室。

2024年12月18日，弗朗西斯·克里克研究所在《自然》杂志上宣称，他们首次在实验室中培育出脊索。

Postdoctoral Fellow – Chromosome Segregation Laboratory

Reporting to: F Uhlmann

Contact term: This is a full-time, four-year position on Crick terms and conditions of employment.

The Research Group

In the Chromosome Segregation Laboratory, we investigate molecular mechanisms that underpin faithful chromosome segregation during cell division. We use yeast and other eukaryotic model systems to study the contribution of structural chromosomal proteins to sister chromatid cohesion and chromosome condensation, essential processes that ensure faithful segregation of centimetre-long chromosomal DNA molecules within micrometre-sized cells. We also investigate how kinases and phosphatases of the cell cycle control network orchestrate the ordered progression through the successive stages of genome duplication and chromosome segregation. We have reached a stage where many of the key chromosome and cell cycle players have been identified, and our focus now turns to unravelling the fascinating mechanisms by which these molecular machines accomplish their tasks.

Further information about us and our research can be found at https://www.crick.ac.uk/research/labs/frank-uhlmann. Research techniques used in the laboratory include but are not limited to molecular biology, genomics, biochemistry, structural biology, and biophysics.

The Project

The purpose of this role is to advance our molecular understanding how members of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) family of protein complexes, cohesin and condensin, work as small molecular machines that give chromosomes their shape. In this project, some of the specific aims include but are not limited to coming to a comparative quantitative understanding of how cohesin and condensin perform their respective functions. We are interested in exploring these SMC complexes at all levels. From studying their single molecular behaviour and their biochemical properties we aspire to gain insight into how cohesin and condensin perform their in vivo roles in chromosome architecture and function. We have recently begun to broaden the range of experimental systems that we use to investigate SMC complex function.

Postdoctoral Fellows will lead their own projects, contribute to other projects on a collaborative basis, both within the laboratory, as well as with internal and external collaborators, and they may guide undergraduate or PhD students in their research. The ability to work in a team is essential.

Key experience and competencies

The post holder should embody and demonstrate our Crick core values: Bold ; Open ; Collegial
