Open Vacancies

---

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the lab of Prof Ilan Davis to elucidate the role of post-transcriptional regulation and RNA localisation and how they are required for plasticity in the Drosophila neuromuscular synapses. The work will follow up our novel recent discoveries of localised mRNA at axon termini in the fly nervous system.

Applicants should hold a PhD/DPhil, or be near completion of a PhD/DPhil in molecular neurobiology or a related field of biology, and should have extensive experience in RNA biology. You should also have extensive knowledge of Drosophila genetics as well as experience with image data analysis and advanced microscopy. Ability to code in R or Python would be a strong asset. Informal enquiries are encouraged by emailing both:  ilan.davis@bioch.ox.ac.uk and Darragh.ennis@bioch.ox.ac.uk 

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the lab of Prof Ilan Davis to elucidate the role of localised translation in glia that are required for plasticity in the Drosophila neuromuscular synapses. The work will follow up our novel recent discoveries of novel mRNAs that are localised at the tips of glial projections near the synapses.

Applicants should hold a PhD/DPhil, or be near completion of a PhD/DPhil, in biology or a related field, and should have extensive experience in RNA biology. You should also have extensive knowledge of Drosophila as well as experience in computational biology using Python and/or R. Experience with image data analysis and advanced microscopy is an asset.
