Job Description:

Wellcome Trust–funded project investigating how RNA interference (RNAi) regulates Candida albicans adaptation to host environments and contributes to the commensal‑to‑pathogen transition. The role is highly collaborative, contributing to a multidisciplinary effort to uncover how RNAi coordinates chromatin structure, genome stability and transcriptional responses during adaptation.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead experimental work integrating (epi)genomics and genetics approaches to determine how RNAi shapes genome organisation and interacts with other epigenetic processes to facilitate fungal adaptation
  • Conduct chromatin‑profiling experiments such as ChIP‑seq and ATAC‑seq
  • Perform Hi‑C analysis in wild‑type and RNAi‑defective strains under different host‑relevant gut conditions
  • Investigate how RNAi contributes to reversible, non‑DNA‑encoded regulation of gene expression
  • Employ molecular genetics to generate and analyse RNAi mutants
  • Work alongside the team’s bioinformatician to design optimal genomics and epigenomics strategies
  • Contribute to scientific publications
  • Prepare conference presentations and share findings at national and international meetings
  • Support other lab members, troubleshooting and collaborative data interpretation

Requirements:

  • PhD in Genetics, Molecular Biology or related disciplines
  • Strong understanding of RNAi biology
  • Excellent understanding of epigenetics
  • Practical experience with genetic manipulation, including generating mutants and conducting functional assays
What we offer:
  • Family, faith and diversity friendly working arrangements
  • Disability Confident employer (guaranteed interview for disabled applicants meeting essential criteria)
  • Visa application support
