Bioinformatics Research Associate in Eukaryotic Gene expression
(REF: LSX-02403)

£29,541 to £36,298 p.a.

You will join a laboratory that is part of an internationally recognised, high quality, multidisciplinary program that investigates several diverse aspects of eukaryotic gene expression and signalling. A number of projects in the lab will be supported which use ChIP-seq and RNA-seq technology to study how cellular signalling affects transcription factor function and chromatin structure on a genome-wide scale. Both yeast and mammalian cell systems are being used (for recent publications see; MCB, 2012, 32, 4651; PLoS Genetics, 2012, 8: e1002694). You will join a highly motivated research group working on the molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic transcription factor function.

You should ideally possess (or shortly expect to gain) a PhD and have postgraduate qualifications and experience in bioinformatics analysis, including UNIX programming and database management. A desire to work on cutting edge aspects of gene regulation is essential.

Informal enquiries are encouraged and should be directed to Prof. Andy Sharrocks (a.d.sharrocks@manchester.ac.uk). For more information on the laboratory visit

Closing Date: 24th March.
