Applications are invited from ambitious and motivated post-doc candidates to work with Professor Peter D. Adams to use computational biology and bioinformatics based approaches to study the epigenetics of cell senescence, ageing and age-associated diseases, such as cancer. Applicants must possess strong programming and data analysis skills and familiarity with Python and/or Perl and Linux shell programming. The role will include analysis of large datasets from state-of-the-art approaches, including genomics, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, methyl-seq and other chromatin analyses.
The Adams lab is situated in the new state-of-the-art Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute for Cancer Research. The lab is well funded by CRUK, the Beatson Institute, Glasgow University and the United States NIH. Consequently, the research facilities and academic environment are both excellent and, through collaborative NIH funding, there will be opportunity to work closely with other leading labs in the field, in the United States and Europe. Glasgow is a vibrant and forward-looking European city, situated close to some of Europe’s most beautiful countryside.
