Postdoctoral Researcher - Norwich, United Kingdom - John Innes Centre
Description
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.
Our established system involves that are insect-vectored plant pathogens. Phytoplasmas have the remarkable ability to dramatically alter plant development by modulating host cellular pathways, leading to, for example, leaf and stem proliferations, delayed aging and increased longevity. The resulting ' Zombie plants' (Nature Microbiology Reviews, New York Times) are under complete control of the phytoplasmas. We found that the phytoplasma virulence proteins are amazing tools to uncover cellular processes, including a novel way of targeted protein degradation, in diverse organisms, including humans.
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 have to work well within a collaborative team and have an interest in effectively communicating and sharing technologies and discoveries within this team and in campus/institute-wide expert and interest groups. 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.
About the Hogenhout Group
The Hogenhout group at the John Innes Centre focuses on understanding the mechanisms that drive interactions between plants and insects and the role of microbes in these interactions. We use a range of molecular, biochemical, cellular biology and bio-imaging techniques to study processes in live cells and whole organisms along with biophysical techniques to analyse and engineer protein-protein interactions.
