Non-coding RNA and epigenetics

A three-year post-doctoral position is available in the Dean lab at the John Innes Centre, Norwich to study the mechanism of epigenetic switching at the Arabidopsis locus FLC. This locus provides an excellent system to study fundamental chromatin pathways linking histone modifications, non-coding RNA and transcriptional dynamics.
The project will involve live imaging of expression of FLC, and its antisense RNA (COOLAIR), before, during and after exposure to prolonged cold.
The overall aim in the Dean group is to understand what quantitatively regulates FLC expression in the warm, and how it is switched to an epigenetically silent state in the cold.

Candidates are required to have a PhD in molecular biology/cell biology, with experience in chromatin analysis and confocal microscopy.
Salary on appointment will be within the range £30,500 to £37,500 per annum depending on qualifications and experience.  This post is initially for a contract of 36 months.
