Postdoctoral Research Associate: Using synthetic chromosomes to study centromere epigenetics in human cells

The UK Centre for Mammalian Synthetic Biology is a BBSRC/EPSRC/MRC Synthetic Biology Research Centre (SBRC) hosted by the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. Its vision is to implement engineering principles towards synthetic biology of mammalian systems. Our Centre will pioneer the development of the essential tools and technologies needed to realize the full potential of synthetic biology for mammalian cell biology and human medicine. The Centre will build capability in the design, construction and testing of synthetic components, integrated into the cellular host, to produce desirable outputs in a robust and predictable manner.

With world-leading faculty members drawn from the Biological Sciences, Medicine, Engineering, Informatics and Social Sciences, the Centre offers an exciting and collaborative research environment.

Excellent facilities are available including computational biology, molecular genetics, biochemistry and biophysics, contemporary ‘omics technologies, stem cell biology and DNA synthesis. Find out more here: www.synthsys.ed.ac.uk
