About
Develop CRISPR-based genome engineering in the reef-building coral Acropora millepora, including knockouts, knock-ins and reporters. Integrate these tools with quantitative microscopy, developmental biology, genomics and single-cell/spatial transcriptomics to study development, symbiosis, regeneration, biomineralization and environmental adaptation. The Gibson Lab offers scope for independent projects and access to research technology centres. Applications are reviewed until filled.
Requirements
PhD in a relevant life-science discipline, strong publications and experience in at least one relevant area such as genome engineering, genetics, development, microscopy, computation or marine biology. Prior coral experience is not required. Follow the advert’s email application instructions with cover letter, CV/publications, research-accomplishment summary and three referees.
