PhD opportunity: Epithelial Cell Fate and Plasticity at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and led by Dr Maria P. Alcolea . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , developmental biology , and cancer biology . The Alcolea Group studies how epithelial progenitor cells behave in the mouse oesophagus and how squamous epithelial cell fate changes during homeostasis, injury, and preneoplastic mutation. The research aims to understand mutant clonal...

About this position
The University of Birmingham is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the group of Dr. Tianyi Zhang in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, School of Medical Sciences.
The project will investigate how hematopoietic transcription factors and epigenetic regulators control B-cell function, and how dysregulation of these mechanisms contributes to blood cancers. The researcher will identify key interactions between transcription factors and chromatin modifiers in B cells and dissect their functional dependencies using cellular and primary cancer models.
The postdoctoral researcher will lead an independent research project within a collaborative team. The work may draw on chromatin biology, protein biochemistry, structural biology, genomics, proteomics, cell biology and cancer biology. Responsibilities include designing experiments, analysing and interpreting research findings, developing models and techniques, disseminating results through publications and presentations, and contributing to the training and supervision of students.
The role is based in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences at the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston campus, providing opportunities for collaborative research, professional development, teaching and fellowship development, leadership, and engagement with the wider research community.
This is a Wellcome Trust-funded postdoctoral research opportunity with a full-time fixed-term appointment.

What's required
A PhD degree or near completion in a relevant research area such as chromatin biology, protein biochemistry, structural biology, genomics, proteomics or cancer biology. Applicants should have demonstrable research experience and detailed knowledge of gene and epigenetic regulation and chromatin biology; evidence of leading a research project through to completion, shown by a first-author publication or manuscript in preparation or under review; a strong academic track record appropriate to career stage; high-level analytical and problem-solving ability; clear written and presentation communication skills; fluency in relevant models and methods with the ability to develop new ones; and the ability to assess resources, contribute to research planning, management and administration, coordinate work with others, and understand equality and diversity duties under the Equality Act 2010. A willingness to learn new techniques and enthusiasm for collaborative research are essential.
