    Description
    Postdoctoral Researcher - The John Innes Centre

    Salary:
    £35,300 - £43,750 per annum depending on qualifications and experience.
    Contract: 36 months, full time

    Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral researcher to join the group of Prof Saskia Hogenhout (twitter: @SaskiaHogenhout) at the John Innes Centre (JIC) to study phytoplasma effectors in human and animal cells and animal model systems.

    The resulting ' Zombie plants' (Nature Microbiology Reviews , New York Times ) are under complete control of the phytoplasmas.

    The successful candidate will set up human cell and animal-based systems experimental systems to analyse functional attributes of phytoplasma effectors.

    They will conduct structure-function analyses of the effectors to further optimise effector activities in human and animal cells. Finally, they will develop the phytoplasma effectors as tools to study biological processes in humans, animals and/or plants.
    You must have finished a PhD in Genetics, Evolution or Developmental Biology or equivalent. Knowledge of cell- and microbiology, biochemistry and animal genetics are essential.

    Proficiency in human cell culturing and transformation, coupled with expertise in cell biology and microscopy, as well as recombinant DNA technology, are required.

    Additionally, hands-on laboratory skills in protein engineering and experience in experimenting with an animal model system, including but not limited to Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, Zebrafish, mice, or other relevant models, are not required, but desirable.

    You will be part of a basic research environment that involves sharing outcomes via the writing of publications and reports.

    You will give research presentations at group, institute and (inter)national meetings.

    You will be offered opportunities to setup collaborations, teach, participate in student supervisory committees and outreach activities, and to engage with industry, entrepreneurs and investors.

    The John Innes Centre is an independent, international centre of excellence in plant and microbial sciences. We nurture a creative, curiosity-led approach to answering fundamental questions in bioscience, and translate that knowledge into societal benefits.
