PhD & Postdoctoral Positions, MRC Harwell - Medical Research Council, UK (2016)

MRC Harwell, composed of the Mammalian Genetics Unit and the Mary Lyon Centre, is an international centre for mouse genetics at the forefront of research into disease, development and ageing. We are recruiting PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, technical specialists, bioinformaticians and a statistician to conduct research in a number of areas including:

• Large-scale mouse functional genomics to uncover the gene/phenotype landscape
• Genetic basis of type 2 diabetes
• Genetics of circadian rhythms and sleep in health and disease
• The genetics and pathology of deafness
• The role of cilia in development and disease
• Disorders of sex development
• Bioinformatics of mouse models of disease
• Statistical genomics

We are seeking outstanding postdoctoral researchers who are highly motivated, with a good knowledge of genetics and an interest in using the mouse as a model system. Candidates must have published in a peer-reviewed journal, be capable of critical thinking and have the ability to formulate fundamental questions in their areas of interest that can be tested experimentally.
