An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Associate to work on a BBSRC-funded project which focuses on zebrafish tail regeneration and specifically on how regeneration is initiated after wound closure. The project builds upon our Nature Comms paper that identified a central role for Hedgehog signalling the initiation of regeneration. Some of the advanced technologies that will be used in this project are: light sheet microscopy and single cell RNAseq analysis to identify early regenerative genes.
Applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant field/discipline (or have the equivalent experience) along with experience in the study of developmental, regenerative and/or cell biology using in vivo systems. Experience in confocal and widefield imaging techniques and molecular biology techniques are also essential.
